First of all, Welcome home brother.
Second, Supporting the troops, without supporting the appointed civilain leaders is a B.S. cop out. The only way Soldiers/Marines/Airmen, and heck even those Navy Squids can freely operate and prosecute a war is with full political support back home. People back home get comfortable with being armchair generals and decide what is and is not in national defense interests AFTER we are commited to a conflict. So SUPPORT the troops by supporting the President ESPECIALLY if you dont agree with him. That is the best way to support the troops. If you are unwilling to do this, then just keep quiet and thank men like the gentleman who wrote this question for fighting in a war so you wouldnt have to.

You are full of it pal. Spit on you at airports.
It is disgusting to see someone like you equate your anger with the people in Iraq right now.
These people with thier stupid yellow ribbons should be ashamed for thier ignorance. No magnet is going to help a damn thing.
You should wake up to what exactly it is these neocons have used the military for.
You also should quit wasing people's money on your own feelings of guilt in the form of a yellow car magnet and kick in for some medical supplies.
keep praying.
Guess what? Never Again, is now, AGAIN.
maybe you still don't understand that slogan.
Maybe you are lying about this whole question.

I support my comrades 100%. I want you to know that no matter how bad the war gets, I would NEVER spit on those that defend this free nation of ours. I have many friends that served during Vietnam and when I look at them, it sickens me that anyone would treat them like "baby killers." Those of us that know the truth know better. You guys went through he** and no one back home gave a crap. I also don't want to see this war turn into another Vietnam.
On behalf of my comrades, thank you for your support and service. God bless you and your family...stay safe!!!

I support them 100%. I have many close friends who are still in the military, and family members who have served in every war since WW2. My dad landed on Normandy on D-Day. My brother served in the Marines as an embassy guard overseas during the first Gulf war.
So yes, I support our troops. I just want them home safe.

I feel kind of left out. I was in Nam too, but nobody ever called me a baby killer & sure as hell, nobody ever spit on me! People did ask honest questions, did you kill anyone, were you scared,what was it like over there? But mostly they were glad I was home. To be honest, I've never talked to a VN Vet who claims he was actually spit on or called a baby killer. Sure seems to happen a lot to Vets on the web though..... Gotta wonder......

Yes, Becasue they sacrifice there lives and give us a extra day to spend time in this luxury type of life and have nothing else to worry about besides common life problems. That is the greatest anybody can do on this planet.

I most definitely support our troops, but I dint support what our president has gotten them into...Just like Vite Nam that took so many of our young people...To me it was for nothing...We had no business being there as well as in Iraq. Neither of those countries possed any harm to us...Irag has become a religious war that has nothing to do with us...Show me prove that they we responsible for 911 and ill send you to sites that prove they were not...NO NUKES FOUND THEN OR NOW IN IRAQ

I support my troops, I know a few friends, one very close that just returned from Iraq, I think the vast, vast majority of them are giving it 100%. I support them in their duties 100%, Hope they get to do their job safely and get the mission done. I think this war in Iraq is one of the worse strategic mistakes ever made in American history. We ****** up.

while i agree with your statement... im former Army, i dont think you should advertise your group on here... you will get a lot of wierdos spitting there anti-war, anti-bush, nothing to do with the group crap. now i am going to point out a site that, if it is up, will flow with what you are trying to do its not much, but im sure by getting in touch with these friends of mine, you will maybe find more support for your cause
