As a result of the Sept. 1 1 terrorist attacks, this spoonful from the melting pot seems to have rediscovered its star-spangled pride. “In my lifetime, there haven't been a lot of people that were proud to be American, and even though this was a tragedy, this was good for America, because it uni fied the nation,” said Ross Burke, a junior construction science major. “It didn’t change the way I view America, but it has opened my eyes to see that people do still care and love America.” From the hours of television footage showing rescue workers dig ging through ashen rubble, mourners weeping and World-Series-goers ris ing to sing “God Bless America,” this seems to have been an unspoken and understood sentiment: the attacks made America stronger. “A lot of people don't take free dom for granted so much now; there’s more people that would sac rifice their life for their country now,” Burke said. “The land of the free doesn't come without a price. and to worship how we want and to be our own person. Other countries don’t get that.” Flack said what it means to be American is “to live your life how you want it. and to have free choices,” and she flies the flag with honor. Old Glory also has new meaning for Mark Blevins, a junior computer engineer ing major. To Blevins, the stars and stripes represent protection and reassurance that his freedom will survive. “It’ll be interesting to see in - iScphomore year how things are,” he said. iriiten Strut/.

Otherwise, it doesn’t work.” Suzi Flack, a senior biology major, has come to realize the dedication and valiant efforts made by soldiers and leaders on behalf of all Americans. Flack said she appreciates her guaranteed rights and puts faith in the president to see that those rights are protected. “1 find myself thanking the Lord that I am where I am,” Flack said. “It’s awesome that we’re able to be here, to go to school “When I see it, I know that there’s people that make decisions, and I know that those are going to be the best decisions for the country as a whole,” he said. ”1 realize the importance of putting people into those positions, and you know their decision is going to be good for the country, especially in times of trial.” Before the attacks, Blevins said he held only slight regard for the flag and its mean ing. but every time he sees it now. it is even more symbolic. tisan stuff,’ graduate Education.
