Just saw a car COVERED with those magnetic ribbons...

Those aren't cheap either. To cover up the entire car, every inch of paint must cost at least 200 dollars.

I want one too

by the corrosion to his paint job.

our troops", why don't they donate the money to the troops instead of the corporations that get richer on all this crap..they made a fortune in the car flags now this.

All that money could have done a lot of good. It wasn't covered with "Support our troops" ribbons. It had "god bless america" ribbons.

the troops. FRG stands for Family Readiness Group, which are non-profit groups within the military. They are composed of both spouses and soldiers.

FRG do (among other things):

food drives and food pantry donations to help the military and civilian community they live in
toy drives and toy donations to help the military and civilian community they live in
send boxes to troops deployed...and send them all kinds of things....uniform items, books, needed personal items, etc.
school supplies for both military and local civilian schools

Money is also used to host functions and get-togethers so the spouses and children left behind can come together for support.


One FRG group paid 2.50 a magnet and sold them for 5.00......they made over 5000...ALL of which went back to supporting the troops and their families. ...to include donations to the air conditioner drive so troops could have relief from the heat.


FRG's also make donations to Walter Reed and other military hospitals of money, clothing, and personal grooming items for soldiers recovering.

They also buy wreaths for the dead.

A lot of businesses will sell them and pocket the profit....but not every ribbon was sold by a business...often time a military family group is selling them to raise money to "support the troops"

Your Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven Anymore
© John Prine

While digesting Reader's Digest
In the back of a dirty book store,
A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the floor.
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
Slapped it on my window shield,
And if I could see old Betsy Ross
I'd tell her how good I feel.

Chorus:
But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.

Well, I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier he said to me,
"If you join the Christmas club
We'll give you ten of them flags for free."
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
I took him up on what he said.
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife's forehead.

Repeat Chorus:

Well, I got my window shield so filled
With flags I couldn't see.
So, I ran the car upside a curb
And right into a tree.
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead.
And I'll never understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...

"But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
We're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more."

How about this Prine song......

"There is a hole in Georgies head where all the money goes"
"Jesus Christ died for nothing .... I suppose"

illegal smile, it don't cost very much, but it lasts a good while.
Would you please tell the man I didn't kill anyone, and I'm just trying to have me some fun.

well, he has killed a bunch of folks. Speaking of illegal smiles, have you noticed that it looks like he fell off the wagon?

that says...

"I support our troops by not buying one of those stupid fucking yellow ribbons that doesn't support our troops"...

I wanna get one that says "I support our troops by not buying one of those stupid fucking yellow ribbons that doesn't support our troops"

too!

"OOOOOh tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree"
"It's been three long years, do you still want me?"

says, "I support our president."

cover their computer with those magnets too. :evilgrin:

...stick it right on your hard drive.:thumbsup::D

Take a Ribbon off the Escalade at the mall parking lot

write on it something like

Fire Rumsfeld
Draft Republicans
Bring them Home

then make a trade with the updated version on the
next car you see w/ a ribbon.
Repeat the process,

Very Therapeutic

and no, I won't take it off. I support the Troops.

It sits right under my Impeach Bush bumper sticker.

"Support Magnetic Ribbon Manufacturers"

Serves the idiot right.
