4 AMERICAN PATRIOT
ON 9/11 FIRST LADIES HONOR
UNITED FLIGHT 93
This week, much of the country will be focused
on the site of the World Trade Center to memo-
rialize 9/11, and understandably so. But the
First Ladies — Michelle Obama and Laura
Bush — are traveling together to a remote
spot in Western Pennsylvania to participate
in a ceremony honoring those who died on
United Flight 93.
The 40 victims who died on the flight are
remembered for their heroic decision to
battle the terrorists who had hijacked the
plane and had planned to crash it into either
the Capitol or White House. Originally sched-
uled to go from Newark NJ to San Francisco,
passengers of the hijacked plane learned the
news of the coordinated attacks on the World
Trade Center and the Pentagon, and acted to
regain control of the flight from the hijackers.
In the process, the plane crashed in a field
at Shanksville PA killing all on board. One of
the passengers, Todd Beaner, was overheard
to urge his fellow passengers “Let’s Roll,” and
the phrase has come to be synonymous with
self-sacrifice and initiative in a tough situation.
The location of the First Ladies’ ceremony of
remembrance is the Western Overlook, where
a planned Flight 93 National Memorial is
scheduled to open next year on the 10-year
anniversary of the attacks. According to the
National Park Foundation, “In 2001, the
Western Overlook was the location of the in-
vestigative command post for Flight 93 and
was the point from which the families of the
passengers and crew first observed the crash
site. It was also where the media reported on
the crash and provided the public with the
first images from the crash scene.”
In remarks at a ceremony on the first anniver-
sary of 9/11, Homeland Security Adviser Tom
Ridge said, “We do not know how long it will
take to defeat the scourge of terrorism or how
many Americans will give their lives for the
cause. But we do know one thing with absolute
certainty: The passengers and crew of Flight
93 won the first battle.”

AMERICA’S FUN FOODS
“KISS MAH GRITS”
Grits are one of the oldest American foods dating
back to a similar substance eaten by Native Amer-
ican tribes. The early colonists were introduced to
rockahominie grits, a form of grits prepared by
soaking and beating the grains, by Southeastern
Native American tribes. The name arose when
Northern Europeans adopted an especially coarse
version of the Native American rockahominie —
they called it “grit gruel.”
Colonists quickly adopted the food into their own
culture. The first recorded history of colonists
dining on grits was at a dinner with Sir Walter
Raleigh and his men and local Native Americans.
One of Raleigh’s men commemorated the event
in writing, calling the food “white, faire, and well
tasted.” Grits became especially popular among
those colonists living outside populated areas
because they could grind their own corn and
keep it preserved for a long time. Since corn
was a year-around food, it was integral to the
colonists survival.
The evolution of grits has helped to shape
Southern culture. Throughout its history, the
South has relished its grits, making them a
symbol of its diet, its customs, its humor, and its
hospitality. Grits were preferred over oatmeal and
Cream of Wheat because they held up better than
other breakfast options in heat and humidity.
Grits are a traditional home-style food; very little
has changed since the first preparation. Many
Southerners enjoy cheesy grits or grits served
on the side of eggs. Shrimp and grits became a
staple breakfast of Southern coastal fisherman
early on. With a rekindled interest in Southern
comfort food, grits are receiving a serious make-
over by creative chefs across the country. A
recently written cookbook, Glorious Grits, shows
gourmet grits dishes such as Asparagus-Grits
Strata, Huevos Rancheros on Cilantro-Grits
Cakes, and even a Grits Bruschetta.
Still, the age old question remains: which type
of grits is better, yellow or white? Most South-
erners would argue that yellow grits have a more
intense corn flavor, and are the grits of choice.
This truly American food can be cooked up in
as little as fifteen minutes, and makes a perfect
side dish for any meal.

Grits have long been a cuisine of choice by Southerners. But wheredid this thick, coarsely ground, porridge-like substance originate?

8 AMERICAN PATRIOT
Historic New England crystallizes at the Boston Freedom Trail, a red brick track through
downtown Boston that stops at sixteen points of significance in the history of freedom.
The Trail is made up of 16 distinct, original historic sites related to the establishment
of the country. Established in 1958, the Freedom Trail is a national icon and draws more
than three million tourists, residents of Massachusetts, and school children each year.
From the protests of Samuel Adams and James Otis, to the Boston Massacre and the
Boston Tea Party, to the liberation of Boston in 1776 by General Washington and his
army, to the site of the first public school in America, this historic walks takes in sites and
tells stories crucial to America’s independence. The most sensible place to start is the
Visitor Information Center in Boston Common, where free maps are available as well as
audio and GPS tours. A kids favorite is the 90-minute “Walk into History” tour by guides.

STAMP HONORS
GARY COOPERAS AMERICAN ICON
A cowboy from Helena MT, Cooperstarted in the movies as a stuntmanfalling off horses during Hollywood’s“Golden Age.” For decades, he was theall-American hero whose believableperformances and strong, silent appealbrought him a lifetime of fame.
“Using the skills he acquired on thatMontana ranch,” said U.S. Postal Serv-ice Board of Governor member AlanC. Kessler in dedicating the stamp,“Cooper entered the film industry as anextra and stunt double. He eventuallytraded the stars from Big Sky Countryto one on the Hollywood walk of fameas he rode effortlessly into the star-ring roles of movies like High Noon,The Plainsman and The Westerner.”Cooper’s roles varied dramatically inaction and war standouts like “AFarewell to Arms,” “Sergeant York,”and “You're In The Navy Now.”
During World War II, he was a tirelessvisitor to the troops overseas, oftenmesmerizing them with the dramaticfarewell speech by Lou Gehrig that
Cooper performed in the movie “Prideof the Yankees.”
Joining Kessler in dedicating the stampwas Cooper's daughter Maria CooperJanis. “My father would have been veryflattered by this honor, but he was al-ways very self deprecating,” saidCooper's daughter. “If he were heretoday, he’d probably say, ‘See, lookwhat you get for falling off a horse.’Janis added that her father had astrong commitment to nature and Na-tive Americans. She recently createdthe The Gary Cooper Scholarship,which is awarded to a Native Ameri-can students enrolled in the study offilm and television at the University ofSouthern California.
Art director Phil Jordan of Falls ChurchVA, designed the Gary Cooper stampusing a portrait by artist KazuhikoSano. The image is based on a black-and-white circa 1940 George Hurrellphotograph.
Iconic actor Gary Cooper was honored as the 15th inductee into theLegends of Hollywood collectible stamp series. The dedication cer-emony took center stage in Los Angeles at the Autry National Centerof the American West where the Oscar for his role in High Noon andCooper movie posters were on display. Forty million 44-cent firstclass stamps are now available nationwide.

12 AMERICAN PATRIOT
With the National Football League seasonin full swing around the country, andfootball challenging baseball as the“National Pastime,” it is hard to imaginethat professional football struggled tostay afloat in its early years. That it has survived — and thrives beyondimagination — is due in no small part to a name little known among today’sgeneration of sports fans:
GEORGE HALAS
FORGOTTENHERO
AMERICAN PATRIOT 13
George Halas was a founding fatherof professional football back in thebeginning of the 1900s. He wasplayer/coach when the ChicagoBears were still playing as the Decatur (IL) Staleys. He was there to move them to Chicago, and henamed them the Bears. He was at the first meeting, located ata car dealership lot in Canton, Ohio,where a group of owners formedthe American Professional FootballConference, which became theNational Football League.
Understanding the need to find away to steal attention away from more estab-lished sports — Major League Baseball,college football and boxing held sway inthose days — Halas discovered and mar-keted the first true professional footballstar in Harold "Red" Grange. He then tookthe Bears and Grange on a coast-to-coasttour to promote professional football as a game of speed and strength. He hadhis Bears play the New York Giants atthe Polo Grounds in front of more than65,000 spectators, the largest crowd tosee a professional football game at thetime. Although the tour took less than threeweeks, it included eight games in 12 daysand went from New York to California.
Among other Halas contributions to foot-ball: he was the first to hold daily practicesessions, to utilize films of opponentsgames, to have his games broadcast onradio. During the 1930s he lobbied suc-cessfully for league rules that enhancedscoring capabilities which enhanced thepopularity of the game. He was instrumen-tal in creating the T-Formation, which ledto the Bears dominating the 1940s. Hedrafted the first African-American playerand had the first African-American quar-terback in the league. And when WorldWar II threatened to close the league down,he was instrumental in keeping it going.At the same time, he served in the SouthPacific with the Navy from 1943-45.
Halas remained in the game he loved, onand off, through 1981. As a coach,owner, manager and player, his belovedBears teams won six NFL titles, threeother divisional titles and finished second15 times. Only six of Halas’ 40 teamsfinished below the .500 mark. The ProFootball Hall of Fame, located poignantlyin Canton, Ohio, is located on a streetrenamed George Halas drive. Halaspassed away in 1983, but unlike so manyvisionaries, he lived to see his vision ofprofessional football become the centerof American sporting life.

THIS WEEK IN AMERICAN HISTORY
AMERICAN PATRIOT 15
2004.TV talk-show host Oprah Winfrey made history of a kind, giving a brand-new Pontiac
G-6 sedan worth nearly $30,000 to everyone in her studio audience: a total of 276
cars in all. Oprah had told her producers to fill the crowd with people who “desperately
needed” the cars, and when she announced the prize mayhem ensued. It has been
described as “one of the great promotional stunts in the history of television.”
