Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004): Military Family

The clip military family from Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

Do you consider yourself a proud American?
Absolutely.
I'm an extremely proud American. I'm probably more proud...
...than the average Joe.
When I put my flag out, I can't allow it to touch the ground.
Because I know the lives that were lost and the blood that was shed...
...so that I could be here and have a flag.
How often do you put the flag out?
Every single day. Every day.
I started when my daughter was in Desert Storm.
I had the same flag...
...flying on my front porch and the same yellow ribbons.
Praying and hoping every day that my child would come home safe.
And everybody's child would come home safe.
And she did.
And she did.
Have other family members been in the military?
Absolutely. Uncles, aunts...
...cousins, brothers, father.
Very strong military family.
Very strong.
My family was... My family is what I consider...
...part of the backbone of America.
It's families like mine. And it's not just my family.
There's hundreds of families, millions of families...
...that this country was founded on their backs.
I have been known to be a conservative Democrat. Yeah.
That's what you consider yourself? Yeah.
Yeah, it's a great country.
It's a great country. A great country.
The cross that I choose to wear is a multicultural, multicolor cross.
That's because I believe that all God's people come in many colors.
And my family itself is multicultural.
You have a daughter who went into the military.
Then your first-born son, in the military.
That's quite a gift to the country from your family.
So having a son in the Army, pretty proud thing.
Oh, you know what? He made it.
