This growing band of citizen patriots have become a familiar sight on California's El Curtola Bridge since 9/11, when one man held his flag there after the attacks.
As crowds gathered for the 7th anniversary rally, the bridge cast a patriotic blur through my minivan windshield.
Up close, the action zoomed into individual patriot focus.
It reminded me of the tidal wave of patriotism that swamped individual difference in the wake of Sept. 11, when we chose to slosh through muck and mire together, buoyed by the hope of a country music song.
