41. Putting a support the troops sign on your car is a hollow statement if
Edited on Wed Jan-26-05 11:25 AM by Mountainman
you don't do anything to really support them.

You could donate to an organization that sends needed items to the troops or you could send them yourselves. You could write to them or pay for a phone card for them.

You could petition the government to end the war and send the troops home sooner.

But just the act of putting a magnet on your car does nothing but help you get the approval of others like you, it does nothing for the troops.
