Fran and all...I'm afraid you are quite right about the almost total lack of respect and patriotism in our nation today. It sickens me to observe some of the most disgraceful behavior one can imagine at various public events.
I do believe that much of it comes from ignorance. Proper behavior isn't being taught in today's world.
I have long tried to explain to many people that such things as patriotism is not part of our DNA.
It is NOT "handed down through bloodlines.
Patriotism MUST BE TAUGHT TO EACH GENERATION...
CAREFULLY TAUGHT!!
t simply isn't being TAUGHT these days! When our generation fades out completely I am afraid thatpatriotism will be on its LAST LEGS. I hope and pray I am wrong.
May our fantastic nation DESERVE God's blessing.
