Unfortunately "support our troops" doesn't go much further than a Chinese made flag or yellow ribbon sticker on the family Toyota most times.

There is a LOT out there that doesn't make the papers...a lot of individual citizens doing what the liberals want to block or pretend isn't happening. Shows of support that undermine their message of Vietnam indifference and disaster. People doing things like these people who have welcomed home soldiers nearly every single day for the last year at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.

There are also the people like those who give up their Friday nights and Saturdays such as the DC Chapter of Free Republic to stand outside Walter Reed, to let our wounded soldiers and their families know that there are untold numbers of us who do care.

The people who collect boxes of various goods at the place where I work to send to deployed troops. And so on.

Just because we do not see them in the news, with the exception of things like the fellow who organized the welcome the troops group, doesn't mean there aren't a huge number of people out there who ARE doing things. We have around 300 million citizens of this country. If it is only 1/2 of one percent, that is still 15 million people doing SOMETHING.

Liberals would love nothing better than to have our troops return home in disgrace and defeat, allowing the libs to selfishly and self-centeredly savor their glory days of treason in the Sixties.

Not going to happen this time.
