This is off topic and you can lock it if you want but I think it's the least we can do for the people serving our country. Maybe make it a sticky also.

i don't think it's off topic, without our freedom, we wouldn't be able to drive our cars, and there are plenty of troops on this board that own 3rdgens.

I sent my thanks to the service men and women Awesome website

left mine too

Thanks for the thanks,
Been serving for almost 21 years, some of the young troops, most around the same age as most of you here, keep asking me why I stick around if I can retire and start collecting half my current wages as retirement pay. I tell them, our country needs us old fellas to stick around, specially right now...
Will stay around as long as the Air Force will keep me..

I am also a member of the army. Not very often someone actually thanks you. Kinda feels good when they do. Appreciate it. And yes, like Rudy said we do need some of people like him to stick around. Some people join for reasons like getting an education, and some just join because we love our country and want to protect our freedom.

In the service.
and the thanks is always welcome.

im american and proud of it. i dont care what peopel think, call me ******* or whatelse but ive displayed this flag since i got the car and i had it in the back of my cavalier as soon as i had it before sept 11th.

Been in the Air Force for 17 years and proud to do my part. Cheers to you all

Nice touch hamspiced, I would love to be able to fly my red white and blue that way, but it is improper military protocol to display the flag like that on base. I have my flag outside my house with proper lighting like we are supposed to. I live on base. So I will enjoy the fact that there are folks like you displaying our colors...

My step father stayed in the AF for 28 yrs, then retired as a Chief. People who can make the military a career for that long, have my respect. Keep up the good work. :hail:

thanks ziptricks,
I love my country, I love my troops, so therefore I love my job,
thanks for the kind words...
Rudy

Thanks for all the support. It helps alot. IM with the United States Marine Corps and love it. Nothing eles like it in the world.

thakyou for the compliment, displaying my flag is just my way of thanking all of you that risk your lives for my freedom of will. i appr4eciate that more then anything else i could be grateful for. if i had my own place and the ability to i would raise my flag as well and light it for all to see, however this is the only way i can display my pride as of now.

i believe, however, that the display protocol only applies to actual flags - no representations of flags, like ties or pictures, (and correct me if i'm wrong, that the last i heard) - so if you painted/dyed the black cargo cover to 'simulate' a flag that might be technically acceptable (though it might or might not annoy people since it's 'bending the rules')

air force at offutt afb for 2 years with two more to go

patrickm00,
You might be correct on the technicallity...
Either way, Love to see them colors...

here's my flag. I have another over the rear veiw mirror. I have had mine every since I had my third gen.

I use to live in the exact town about 20 yrs ago. My step father worked at "The Pit" on base. Oh the days of the red phone. lol

the pit? you must be refering to the command center in stratcom.

3.6 million have signed so far. It's good to show the armed forces a little appreciation. *** knows they have enough people who despise them.
