It never meant so much before... - tanTALK

It's funny how before September 11, how the star spangled banner was played at all sporting events and you really never gave it much thought..

I personally attend a lot of sporting events including major league baseball, basketball, and football games, not to mention, I sponsor a football team and show up at those games, my brother plays high school football, and my other brother plays college basketball.

But since September 11 I have given the Star spangled banner more of a listen, and now even sing it at sporting events, it seems to mean so much more now.

I understand how you feel Allison! I have been noticing the same thing!

It isn't just a song or just a flag. It is OUR song and flag. America is such a diverse culture and patriotism is something that makes us feel as one.

the patriotism here in America went up big time, but its a shame it took a national tragedy to do it. I think we all learned a lesson though, and now we are more on guard for things.
