When the ‘Miracle on Ice’ reminds you what patriotism used to feel like

When the ‘Miracle on Ice’ reminds you what patriotism used to feel like

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the recent Netflix documentary, “Miracle - The Boys of 80,” the story of our USA hockey team who miraculously defeated Russia 46 years ago in Lake Placid, N.Y.It reminded me that intense pride in America is an emotion I’ve totally lost under Donald Trump’s unbridled, authoritarian presidency. I can’t sing the national anthem in a public gathering anymore.
