[Vision2020] pledge

[J Ford]

If Moscow does not support our troops, what are all those "Support Our 
Troops" magnets getting stuck to?  Who's driving around town with the signs, 
stickers and ribbons on their car?  Who is flying the flags that I see in 
the neighborhoods?  Whose trees and homes are being "decorated" with the 
yellow and red/white/blue ribbons?  Who was it that greeted the troops that 
made it back to the Moscow National Guard Base?

You may not support the conflict/war/action, but you certainly should 
support our troops.

J  :]
