I felt very comfortable that I was doing all that I could and all that everyone else here could do until the "support our troops" sticker fell off when I crashed while drunk.\n\nI bought a new one, but do you think the troops would know that I didn't have the sticker on for a few days?

Personaly the "Support our troops" Sticker is not all you can do. I am an american soldier and i do not even own one. I do not think that spending 2 dollars for a sticker saying i support them is enough. I think that the best way of proving that you support somthing is if you go out there and do it. I am still in high school but as soon as I am MOSQed i will be over there fighting with everyone else. I dont think that the soldiers would care if you did not have the sticker on. If you really want to help go talk to a local recruting base and ask them how you would go about writing a soldier over seas and raise there moral.

The only thing the magnets were good for was that walmart was $4.95 richer.\n\nNo they don't support the troops. They don't go to Memorial day parades. They'd rather get drunk at a BBQ. And No they won't send their kids!! \n\nHypocrites, all of them! I think the stickers should be removed! The only way you should be able to get one is by being a vet, being a family member of a vet, visiting a military cemetery, attending a military parade or visiting a VA or Old Soldiers home! \n\nThe rest?  Take Them  OFF!! You haven't earned the right to put one on because all it is to you is lip service, or does it make you feel better about yourself when the bodybags are sent home?

I thank all veterans I meet, & also look for them (bumber stickers, shirts, etc.) to thank them. With all the liberals out there always bitching about the war it takes away from what they do & what they have already did. American soldiers are risking their lives all over the globe defending America's interests and defending the freedoms that many people take for granted, the only right thing to do is thank them & pray for them & their families. God bless the USA & all its patrons!

From one who was there, and lost all his men, and lived to tell, you are very welcome. I was in Afghanistan in 2002. 19 yrs old. We had and are still having a hell of a time over there. We(the armed forces) need all the support we can get. On another note though, If I had the choice to go and fight knowing what would happen all over again, I would go in a heart beat. No thanks necceccary. We are just doing our job. (Semper Fi!)

I totally agree with you!!  That is exactly what my husband, son, and I did just a week before the war started--we held a Support Rally for the Troops, at out State Capital.  It was neither for, nor against the war--rather to tell the men and women about to answer their calls to duty that we were here to stand behind them and support them.  There had been so many protests on TV, high school walk-outs, teens burning books, and other such atrocities.  We just wanted to let our troops, and their families, know that we were proud and grateful that they were serving our country and protecting our freedom to express our own beliefs.  Ironically, to include the kids who's rights to free education that were being protected, as they were walking out.

While i applaud your idea of doing something for the Veterans, I am not sure that alcohol bottles on a Christmas Tree is the right message to send. Isn't there a better way to decorate it? Maybe Angels? Flags? American food like burgers and apple pie? Something that will be funny. The holidays are a difficult time for a lot of people and a lot turn to alcohol at thhat time of the year. Maybe it would be better to send a positive message.

Nope but i was stopped a few months ago - i went to post some letters at about 3am which is normal for me but strange to them i guess so they ran a check on me it came up clean and i went on my merry way.\n\nthey tried to make small talk asked me what i was studying and said i should consider joining the force (yeah right) but i was freezing cause i only went out in a hoodie and only anticipated being out of my house for 3 minutes max.

Whoa! That stinks. I can't remember the last time I have been hungover. I used to not be able to drink because I would be too hungover, but I am good now. What were you drinking? And hey, as long as the 100 bucks is still in one piece, you can spend it ;) It might be a bit stinky though, haha

I got one on my car baby! And let me tell ya this story.\n\nOne day I was driveing home and it was pouring! I drove through a puddle and water got into my distrubitor, so my car stalled. There I was, poor little lipstick lass, stuck in the middle of a freaking downpour, in my leather spike heeled boots trying to push my car over to the side of the road and people were driveing past and honking theyer horns!<might have had something to do with the fact I was wearing a whit sweater, but we wont go into that> and this van pulled up behind me. Two ladies got out saying things like "You poor sweetie"  \n"Go ahead and get in the car we will push you" and they helped me park my car and offered to give me a lift home.  After talking and realizeing that they were both lesbians as well <it didnt take much guessing after they both hugged me, and one of them gave me her jacket> I asked why they stopped and the driver said "Well, we saw you, and thought about stopping, and I was still going to drive by, but Liz<her girfriend> pointed to your sticked <my HRC sticker> and said "Suz, you aren't getting sex for a week if you leave that cute little femme out in the rain!, So I had to pull over, I couldn't leave a cute little gal like you out  there, sweety" and thats why I thank my Goddess everyday for my HRC sticker!

Being a former soldier who just left Iraq for the second time, I really would not want the teddy bear I would rather have a beer. But getting one from the one I loved was great . It was something that was not "me" and reminded me of that person. So in the end I had 5 teddy bears that sat in a locker in Baghdad that I looked at every morning for a second and made me feel like I was home if but for an instant. I had 5 because I have 4 daughters and a wife. Send him the damn bear so he can hide it and think of you!!! :)

My brother's favorite pillow, he's resting in peace now.  I accidentally left it in a hotel room on the bed, one of the maids took it away thinking we had one too many of the hotel's pillows.  When we got back to the room, I cried, yelled, and had a emper tantrum, but there was nothing they could do for me, it was gone.  Maybe it was good for me somehow to be parted from it so I could move on and away from my long period of mourning.

I think that the guy who thanked him...did nothing wrong. I think that because the one guy just got back from being over there...he hasn't really gotten back into his regular state of mind yet... some guys go over there and come back home as a totally different person. Like some of them will go over there, and before they go...they will be so in love with their girl or whatever and then when they come back, they feel different, and act different. They see lots of different things over there..some even traumatic...maybe the guy didn't realize how he reacted to that guy telling him he was glad he made it home safe...maybe he realizes it now...maybe he would like to apologoze to that guy now...who knows. He may have also gotten a "big head" while being over there..now that he's back, he thinks he's the shit now...it's could be numerous things.\nI am a Marine wife,so I have seen or heard of some of these things.

Well..... I commend our government.. Look around at other countries I mean you would be killed in some of the countries for even posting something like this. We have so many rights and take them for granted. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our troops for protecting me and my family.
