You know I'm crazy about you, don't you?

I hate those yellow ribbons. Such a shallow gesture. Reminds me of all the flags one saw flying after 9/11. No one knew how to display a flag properly--I saw them wrapped around trees, draped on car trunk lids, etc. (I saw a flag with 48 stars in CT--I knew it was a conservative area, but that's a bit extreme!) There was a tow truck driving around Manhattan with something like seventeen flags flying! As a friend said, the bigger the flag, the more frightened I am.

Hollow gestures like that really piss me off, especially at a time when our own are being sent off to die for WHATEVER reason. It cheapens their service as far as I'm concerned. I'm not much on that kind of symbolism anyway, it's more about what you do to represent - that's what I'm saying.

You might want to add tampons and other 'feminine hygiene' products to the toiletries list for all the female soldiers out there. As a general rule, those are top commodity for the ladies.
