            <text>I witnessed 9/11 actually in my spanish class. I walked into spanish and all of a sudden my teacher turned on the television and started crying.At first I didn't exactly know what was going on but later I figured out how big of a deal it really was. My teacher actually scared me the most though because she just busted out crying and could barely talk.  </text>

            <text>I don't think that my life has changed a whole lot since September 11th. People are more patriotic now and you see stuff everywhere about America and I actually don't like that. I don't like how all of a sudden people started loving America and how it took a tradedy like this to realize how great our courty really is.</text>

            <text>How people felt should be remembered I think. It was such a tragec event and I hope that people don't stop being so supportive of America like they are right now. Everyone seems so patriotic and in some ways I like it and in some ways I don't.</text>

        <description>Did you fly an American flag after the events of September 11th? Have your feelings about the American flag changed as a result of September 11th?</description>
        <elementTextContainer>
          <elementText elementTextId="554559">
            <text>Yes we actually did fly an American flag anfter 9/11 but we always have so its nothing really new. We have always flown one at our lake cabin at the end of our dock. Once again coming back to people all of a sudden being so patrioic and flying a dozen flags that really bugs me because they acted like they didn't care before. They need something as tragic as this to wake them up and realize how good we have it over here. </text>
