Gentlemen,
As some of you know I'm a frequent poster on the board and a supporter of the site. I'm in the Air Force, stationed at MacDill AFB in Tampa Fl. Today the President visited our base and about 2000 to 3000 of us packed into hanger 3 to see him and listen to his speech. It was a great experience! As I was leaving the base I noticed about 15 protesters with "Peace" signs over on the side of the road. But to my delight over on the opposite side of the highway there were at least 100 people waving flags and showing their support of the troops and our country. I honked my horn and waved to them, then thought about how thankful I was that they gave up a little of their time to come out and wave a flag for the USA. It may not seem like much to do that, but it means something to those in uniform. Whenever you wave that flag, or write a letter to a serviceman or woman, or call your local radio station and tell them you support our country, or even put a small flag on the car window, it's appreciated. Don't just think, "Oh, well that's not going to mean much", because it does. I think I speak for for most of the Servicemen and Servicewomen when I say, "Thanks". I does mean alot.
