As we were driving back from Palmerston to Ottawa, we stopped in Belleville for a quick bite to eat. When we were leaving the city, I noticed this bumper sticker on the car in front of us, while stopped at a red light. It stated: "If you don't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them". After reading that statement, I felt the need to take a picture and use it for my blog post for today. I have family and friends that have served in the Canadian Forces, and I have family and friends that are currently active in the military, some even in Afghanistan now. I stand behind our troops 100%. I am humbled by their sacrifices and often think how lucky we are because of our Troops. On a side note, today was the last day for advance voting and I voted! Voting is a privilege that we have here in Canada, and if you haven't voted yet, please go vote on May 2nd. Think about what it means to vote, your vote counts! And if you don't vote, don't complain!
hehe.. voting is a right not a privilege:)
ReplyDeletei have loved ones serving in the global hot spots right now, i'd never lower myself to that sticker. i stand behind my troops, but not behind poor decisions that gets them killed w/ improper equipment and such :)
there's a different between being a pragmatic patriot and hotheaded extremist.
To "this isn't sparta (sic)" person:
ReplyDeleteTrue, there are poor decisions made all the time, and yes I agree that troops should be well equipped with proper tools and equipment to do the job. Not doing so is very impractical and shouldn't be done, they deserve more respect than that!
