I have to wonder sometimes. I fly a lot. Mostly American Airlines. Which means I am changing planes in Dallas often. American Airlines has what is called the Admirals Club. Not cheap to join. About $800 a year. If you fly a lot, about $350. It's a nice quite place to go when you're waiting for your connecting flight. Anyway, American Airlines has a policy of admiting ANY uniformed member of the armed services in for free. Any time, any airport. Kudos to them. My point is, these young men and women are willing to die for me and all Americans. So, I pop for beers and sandwiches for them. They can't afford the grossly inflated prices in the club. So it costs me a few hundred bucks. Big deal. What bothers me is that rarely does anybody else offer to pony up a few bucks for the soldiers that are giving their all for us. Where is the "I support our troops" mentality. Is it just a ribbon stuck to the back of your car? Ok, I'll get off my soap box now. But I'm still upset.

I support our troops, not the war, not the president, but the troops. I can understand why your upset....People shouldn't just say that they support the troops, but they should show it...and do more than just slapping on a bumper sticker.

You're a good man, John. You and I have similar views. The war in Iraq is a mistake, but we have to support the troops until they are back home and out of that mess. I don't travel on business and there aren't many bases in Oregon so I don't run into many service men and women, but I appreciate all that they do and sacrifice. The mood in our nation was a lot different when I left the Marine Corps, June of 1971.

Most Definitely! There are a lot of private organizations you may not hear about organizing and sending care packages on a regular basis. Good for you - keep up the good work!
