Alot of the people that claim to be patriots and wave a flag and all that crap are anything but patriots. I read the opening post in here and none of the ones that folowed so if I apologise if Im saying what someone else already said. I laugh at the person that has the bumper sticker to support the troops and then yells as loud as they can to stop giving them money to do there job. Its so easy to buy a flag or a bumper sticker but its your actions that dictate if your a patriot or not. The guys that took the wounded troops on a canoe ride? That is great and Im sure it made everyone feel better about themselves for a afternoon but then what? The soldiers still are in need of help to get a accustomed to life without a limb. The patriot donates money to VA hospitals or donates real time to raise money for them or help in some way. They are the people that find a way to give wounded Vets a job doing something or give them discounts on expenses. These are just examples but the patriot puts real time and real money into helping those that fought for them. Buying a sticker of a ribbon to put on your car is real stylish but all it does is make the sticker maker rich. Unless he is donating parts of his profits to the troops it isnt all that patriotic.

I also think that most of our Govt in Washington is unpatriotic. But thats for another day.
