Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: The story I want to tell started on Sept. 10th, 2001. I was driving in my car, and I remember thinking about what a shame it was that our country wasn't more patriotic. It seems to me that a lot of younger people don't have a respect for the flag or for those that have died for our country. I was wished there was something I could do to help boost patriotism and respect for our flag. I thought about sponsoring an essay contest, to get children to think about what our flag represents. It was a thought I had, then I went on with my day. The next day I awakened to my husband calling and telling me what had happened. I turned on the TV and short while later watched the second tower collapse. I could not believe that thousands of people were dying "in front of me". The previous day I never could have imagined that the following day there would be thousands of flags flying across our country and patriotism like I've never seen in my lifetime. It happened in the worst possible way, and I wasn't the one responsible for it, but my wish for a more patriotic and appreciative nation had come true.
