It is weird that smiley and I could live in the same town and have differing experiences as far as patriotism goes.
One of my fellow teachers and I wanted to start a collection drive of items that may be needed by military members overseas, but we're running into a road block. The students that I work with (keep in mind these are apathetic high school students) were actually upset that there wasn't something they could do to help. We're still trying to figure something out because we all want to help out in whatever way we can.
Maybe it's just because I tend to want to focus on the positive, rather than the negative, but I think Jacksonville is a very patriotic place to live. You can't go half a mile in any direction without seeing a flag or something to do with the armed services. Maybe it's just me, though.
