i am skeptical of most college kids, yet my own son is a freshman at Syracuse University in NY and i know his patriotism is true. he was in 4th grade here in NoVa when 9/11 happened. i emailed him last night to ask if he remembered the WHERE IS OSAMA board game he had made for his class project at St James. Also, his 4th grade teacher sent a note home suggesting he had anger issues because in the paper she had them write after 9/11 he talked about wanting to kill bin Laden. He laughed and said yeah he did remember. he also wore red white and blue to classes yesterday, as did his best friends who are at VA tech and are also from NoVA. Being young when it happened doesn’t mean that they don’t remember it and feel vindication. But at the same time, knowing the majority of college students are obama-loving leftists, i was suspicious.
Most were probably in elementary school, my son is in their age group. I know many their age who are not here to celebrate, they are on a FOB or COP, they got word probably did the high-five and still had to watch for IED’s, snipers and ambushes.
