Patriotism is on display in Watertown this weekend....Today a pep rally for Fort Drum at the Salmon Run Mall featured LG Bob Duffy, Rep. Bill Owens, local pols and a blast from the past as Four Star General Lloyd Austin III came for the resigning of the Community Covenant.
Meanwhile this weekend some judges from Rand McNally Publishing are in town to weigh Watertown's prospects of being named the Nation's most patriotic city.
I think patriotism is not measured by flag count or how many times you sing "God Bless the USA."
I learned the meaning of patriotism early in life when I visited my dad's grave at Arlington after he died when I was seven. You don't forget that.....
As for whether we are America's most patriotic city, I hope we win but whatever happens I am happy living here and happy with our close relationship to the military.

Dave Mance just looks like he's visiting, from New Jersey. With that tan, weight loss and gold chain, and with a teacher wife to pay all his bennies, we will just have to start calling him DaveWOWW.
And by the way, just because he's registered in Florida doesn't mean he can't vote against wind in Cape Vincent. Just ask that Wiley Dude.
