Yesterday I checked in at Red Bull Rising and realized I had missed a post. This is the best thing I have seen on the blogs in a long while.
The post "5 Ways to Display Your Patriotic Flair" takes a new look at a very well discussed topic among military supporters, military families and friends.
Sherpa has this to say......
"Many people demonstrate their support for deployed citizen-soldiers by displaying flags, ribbons, and yard signs. Such symbols can be important--and even inspiring--but they don't do much to engage people on a personal level.
After all, when's the last time a stranger asked you about a bumper sticker on your car?
There's also the matter of security. Let me ask you this: Do you stop your mail and newspaper delivery when you leave home for long periods of time? Do you arrange for the neighbor kid to mow the lawn? Why, then, would you put a yellow ribbon or blue-star service flag on your door, advertising that the soldier of the house might not be home for a long, long time?
So, Sherpa, what's an outgoing but security-conscious patriot to do?"
However......you will have to jump over to Red Bull Rising for the rest of the post, 5 Ways to Display Your Patriotic Flair! Trust me, it's a worthy one! I love it!!
While you are over there, you might want to take a crack at the caption contest he has running. Are you up to the challenge?
Stumble It!
