Hagar, did you see the report they had on the news about the flag and patriotism in youth recently?

For those of you who didn't, it was suggesting that even though there is a renewed patriotism among our youth, it isn't the same as that shown by returned servicement for example. The reason being that they've had their freedom given to them on a silver platter and in most cases, they're lucky if they know anyone or have distant relatives who've even served in a war.

The general gist is that we as a nation should foster this nationalism through whatever means possible while trying not to stifle the reasons youth feel this way.
