<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>Since it's Veteran's Day weekend and I'm writing a book about being a good citizen, I went on MSN&nbsp; and&nbsp;&nbsp;followed a link to"Top 10 Patriotic sites," foolishly thinking that this would be my gateway to some super-patriotic internet sites. However, it turned out they were talking about patriotic real estate such as the Statue of Liberty, Washington monument, the Alamo, etc. Then&nbsp;I followed a link to Austin, Texas patriotic/historical sites and found you guys have zillions of 'em. Good places to visit during a war :</DIV>
