Patriotism should always be the focus for every American.  However, with our hectic schedules, sometimes the best intentions do not get off carried through to full fruition.  With the 9/11 10th anniversary just having taken place, it’s very appropriate to feature this video from a grocery store in Massachusetts.  The subscriber who submitted the video questioned, “Why doesn’t anything happen like this when I’m doing boring old grocery shopping?”

Loyal Subscribers!  We need some help.  The purpose of our “Heart” section is to publish stories of the experiences, contributions and sacrifices of our military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard) and public service personnel (police officers, fire fighters, EMS, merchant marines and others in the public sector) as well as stories of their families.  Please search your memory and computer for a few and send them to Bill (CPT Otis) O’Quin at boquin@ix.netcom.com for possible publication.  Thanks!
