I, too, wish I could attend these events, but I live in the middle of no place. However, to support our troops follow the threads listed here on FreeRepublic. It's very important for them to hear from folks at home and I've received so many, many great responses from them. I'm in Upstate New York and found a guy who came from here and we e-mail each other frequently. My husband and I made a "Support our Troops" sign and stuck it in a mound of snow outside our house. Then we were wondering about all the folks driving by honking their horns. One day I was outside, about to get into my car, when a tractor trailer truck went by and he gave a loud honk and waved. I noticed a large American Flag on the side of the truck.

I've seen some fire trucks in Ogden City, that have big, beautiful, American flags on them. The effect is really impressive; when they are coming down the street on an emergency call! The flag is waving in the air while the truck is moving. I've seen a number of police cars that have them too.
