now we're back to "normal" and isn't it just GREAT *sarcasim* to be honest you americans forget to fast! It was so easy to solute your nation but i dont see the same patriotism (sp?) as i did last year. If i was americian i would be in the armed forces right now but seeing how i can't do that i'm looking around to the rest of you *looks* and i see nothing but the same old. wheres your drive to better the world and help your country?
When i heard/saw the event happening on tv that tuesday you know what my first thought was? to get in my car and drive to NY and see if there was something i could help with. If you dont believe me even ask my friends (well the only one you can talk to is dimitry) but then i heard they closed the boarders and well i watch things unfold on tv.

Definatly don't question my patriotism either. Its not an option for everyone in the country to just quit their jobs, leave their families, and join the military. There wasn't a whole hell of a lot that I could do about 9/11. Just because I didn't pick up a gun and hunt down the bastard that did this doesn't mean I'm not an American patriot. Before you bunch all American's into one stereotype just remember, "Canadian", that some of us did all we could and some of us went above and beyond. Just because there are some of us that don't wish to dwell on a horrible incident doesn't mean that we aren't patritoic. I don't need the twin towers tatooed on my back to be patriotic. I am just as patriotic today as I was before this happened. Some of us don't need a ground shaking event to remind us of who we are.
