How does Patriotism elate to 911?

When the attacks took place on 9-11 people helped one another out of the buildings, went into burnig buildings to help those were trapped. Yes, some were emergency personnel but many of those lost that morning were coworkers helping each other to the stairwells in the building, then they went back in after more people. As the day enfolded and airlines were shut down, people left their jobs across the country because they had to go help. Their bosses saved their jobs for them even when they were gone a month or more helping sift through the rubble. One manager for Home Depot sent supplies with the men leaving for New York.

These actions were made by some trying to find family, but many because they were angry that their home was invaded and something had to be done to help the country recover.

The simplest but most obvious reaction was the number of flags that people bought to fly at their home, carry on their briefcase, the magnets on their cars. This helped unify people across the country - they focused more on the country as as whole than to focus on their personal issues alone.
