    supporting injured troops

    In response to Jennifermo I am one of those yellow ribbon SUV drivers. My answear and reason for my yellow ribbon of support is of the troops and bring them home and getting them and their families the support they need. Bush is sending beautiful young men and women over there to fight a war not once, not twice, but now OUR troops are going for a thrid tour. I wish it was a tour of a collage, disneyland, any thing else but what they are seeing and coping with on a daily bases. A lot of these troops are coming home PTSD and not getting the help they need due to labeling and then not being able to go into carrer choices they have. Behaviors are damaging to them, and there families. These men and women are coming home damage, mind, body and souls.

    My yellow ribbon is support for the troops and them coming home. What is your yellow ribbon for.

    P.S. My ribbon will be on there until every last one comes home, so far it has been on there for the last three and half years.
