None, and its not to show lack of support, have gotten the airfreshner hanging from the mirror. But do not have ribbon magnets for any 'cause' on my car because the magnet holds water behind it and eventually causes a rust spot on the vehicle. Proven fact. Also, I heard the company that started making them sent no actual support for troops as a percentage of the proceeds earned from the sales of the magnets, that applies across the board for all the ribbon magnets they made, regardless of cause it is intended to support.

At the moment we have none. We just traded in our old SUV so we could get an even more gas guzzling Corvette engined SUV and we haven't put the old ribbon on it yet! The old ribbon is showing some road wear so we may just buy a new one.
It's great to be American and be able to buy an SUV that thinks it is a Corvette from Exxon dividends!
I have also done three websites for troops stationed in Iraq so they could stay in touch with their family and friends. I have an American flag on the wall of my office which flew over a base in Iraq which was presented to me by one of the units.

I consider the "Support the Troops" ribbon magnet as a 1st Amendment right to free speech. Funny how liberals will tear your ribbon off because they only believe in free speech if it's an opinion they agree with...

I do not put those on my POVS but I do support the troops.
Being a military wife we have been warned by MPs not to have them on our vehicles due to the fact that during deployments "some people" like to harass us while our husbands are deployed so we do not need to make ourselves a target. Also I have known too many wives whose ribbons got stolen.
I do have some support the troops wood crafts inside my house and that is about it.
