Pride

Dear Friends,


As I reflect on the week that has just passed I think about all that has happened and what lies ahead. Last night as a I watched the football game introductions I saw people from so many different backgrounds all gathered in one stadium to root on their teams, and then in a moment the stadium went quiet and the United States Flag was posted…As the anthem sang there were people shown singing along or quiet in awe for their country’s colors. So what am I getting at you may ask?... Pride. Everyone should have pride in something whether it’s in what you do, who you are, or where you come from. Pride seems to comes out the most in a country when catastrophic events take place. In 1941, The Attack on Pearl Harbor took place and all Americans came together and showed their pride in their country because it was “The American” thing to do…The most recent event in which American pride has surfaced is September 11th, 2001, a day where everyone grew quiet and the only thing to do was to come together and be patriotic because it seemed as though everyone was under attack not just a building or two. Tomorrow is the 9th anniversary of the Twin Tower Attacks…No matter where you are take a moment and remember that day and how you might have felt. If you’re at the First Aggie Football Game of the season be sure to salute the military men and women, and when that National Anthem is played by The Pride of New Mexico stand and be proud to be an American…And also show pride in your school and football team, because it’s pride that makes all of us unique. So to end this week’s blogs I’ll leave you with this thought if you have nothing else to have pride in, be sure sure that you have pride in yourself because that is what will be the most important in the end. Here’s to you Aggie Nation, hope you all have a fantastic weekend and try to make it out to the tailgaiting and football game tomorrow. GO AGGIES!!!
