Students declare American pride

By Thomas Phillips
THE BATTALION
The attitude of unity across the United
States resonates through every segment of
the population and Texas A&M is no excep
tion. 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

The land of the free has to be the home of
the brave. 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.
