I, too, display my flag, proud to be an American. But mine stands for something different. As I have prayed for world peace each night since Sept. 11, I added a peace symbol to the field of the flag I fly. While some Americans thirst for war, this American does not.
And I believe I do not stand alone.
I believe in my heart that no mother in the world tonight wishes to send her son to war.
No American mother.
No Arab mother.
I believe in my heart that we all wish our children to grow old together, talking on some future peaceful day about the week our world came to the brink of another generation of war.
And telling the amazing tale of how we chose the harder battle of putting aside hatred, intolerance and greed in order to do something else we all could live with.
