Like most Americans, I spent that day well away from the tragedies, but I too am connected in ways I don't fully understand. I am from Freehold, a town in Monmouth County, New Jersey. My county lost 153 citizens to the World Trade Center attacks. My grandfather used to work in the Twin Towers. A good friend of our family happened to be late for a September 1 Ith meeting with the Port Authority, from which he had recently retired. Yes, I feel connected. But I am not. I'm sure I was patriotic before 9/11, but I'll admit I was one of the first in line to buy an American flag from Wal-Mart late that very evening. I felt the rush Of national pride, the chills on my back as we sang "America" on the U.C. lawn last year. Whatever patriotism we had a year ago, though, seems gone now. I'm not mad at America for losing that. Really. I just feel alone again. There are still a few who are patriotic with me, and I am thankful for them. I am grateful to the Bergen County Cadets, the DCI marching drum and bugle corps, for their 2002 show that paralleled current events with our history. I am grateful to Roger Rpsenblatt for a book that proved to me why I can love America. I am grateful to Jan O'Brien, who works in the U.C. food court, for teaching me Greek even while people of that ethnic origin innocently cancel plane departures on occasion. I feel alone in my gratefulness. Am I the only one who still cares about America? The only one who looks down her winding mountain valleys and up her magnificent steel buildings with a glisten in my eyes? I'm flying my flag right now. You can see it in my window if you drive up the hill to Reynolds. Should I still feel patriotic? I live my life, you live yours. That's the real beauty of America, right? America, is your patriotism dead? "I should think not," she might respond, almost prudishly. "Besides, you're still patriotic." And then, a little quieter, she asks, "Aren't you?" got news? let us know about it. e-mail: wc@wcunedu - or - call: 227-7267
