Click for larger versionHere is our car plastered with magnets in support of military families.  They seem to be breeding on the back of our car. 

Years ago I couldn’t stand the yellow ribbon magnets mainly because they seemed to be prized the most by armchair warriors.  Most of them have disappeared, so I think it is true that for civilians they were proxies of support for the war and had little to do with supporting the troops.  Otherwise, wouldn’t there be even more of them now?  I imagine that some people on the road have us pegged as warmongers. 

In any case, they show up in tote bags at various events and have already improved the world for one person.  Our daughter likes to rearrange them, so that is good enough for me.
