Patriots Make A Differance

Patriots make a difference
Published in the Harrison Daily Times 9.15.09

Last Friday the United States remembered the attack our nation
suffered eight years ago on September 11, 2001.

The tragic event has been turned into a day to remember the
individuals that place their lives on the line to protect freedom and
provide safety.

I am very thankful for the brave men and women that serve in our
military, and provide local emergency help and protection. Sometimes
the question is asked, “Why would you want to have a job that could be
dangerous?”

During our life time, even working in a school can be considered a
dangerous job. I believe people choose a profession because they want
to make a difference. Everyone wants to feel needed and make like
their life count.

Does this line of thought apply to students? Yes it sure does. I still
remember students that were kind, helpful and protective. I’m sure you
know some that are cruel bullies, always demanding attention, and
causing problems.

What would our world be like if today’s students determined to be
young patriots? To have the needs of others put before their own. To
care for other people’s property and to respect authority. It is very
possible. Start by doing something for someone else, without expecting
any recognition.

Cowards attacked our nation and changed our world forever. Be a brave
patriot and determine to make a difference in a good way.
