Newsblog: Boomers find desire to rally ’round the flag
I was surprised by my wife Robbie’s interest in getting a flag for our house after the terrorist attack. Nobody had any, of course, not even on the net, so she hung some red, white and blue streamers from a planter and taped up newspaper pages of a flag on the front door. I liked that she did it. And my daughter made some flag lapel pins out of beads and safety pins and I’ve been wearing one every day. It does feel good to feel patriotic. I just hope our military response is just and measured.
