Okay heres my story... My fiance had been deployed and will be gone for almost 2 years over seas , and i have so much pride being with him and him being a soldier, also i am in the army, so as you can imagine i have this huge pride for the army and our troops, i support them all the way.

Well I drive my fiancee's old car and i had gotten 6 of the support your troops thingies and stuck them on the car, each and every one of them was different it took me almost a month to find that many different ones i had them all placed in a certain way. I was only missing a few more, but i had almost all of them and i was very very very proud to have them on my car.

Well i got out of work to notice that they were all GONE, STOLEN! Who steals that kind of thing. I am just outraged, im not sure why it seems so bad to me but it does... So i want to post a little note in my window to this pride taking thief... Whats your opinion on this whole matter do i have the right to be outraged? What should i leave on the note in my window.....

What kind of person steals that kind of thing??? Anyway, um, maybe a letter to please return??

Anyway, I hope you fiancee comes home soon. I'm so proud of you and yyour fiancee for joining the army...

Maybe they took it so they can stick it on their car.

^^hehe


i'm sorry but as much as you support the war and our troops...many other people don't...that was a pretty sh*tty thing to do but i guess that's how people are expressing themselves

after all, did you hear the story about those elementary school kids who sent letters to some soldier about how horrible they think the war is, that it is wrong, the soldier himself probably couldn't name an iraqi terrorist, and etc?

Its not so much about who believes in what, yopu shouldnt do things like that, i feel like they stole something of mine that to me was very valuable.You just shouldnt take something like that from some one... It just really makes me mad.... i honestly feel like they just stole my pride....

an out there type of person

yeah, maybe the note would work :/
i support out troops, even though a lot of people out there dont..

That doesn't tell much about your pride then.
Hey, it's life, people cheat and steal. Don't let this kind of stuff discourage you.

I don't really think that a note or letter will do much, but I'm proud of you, it takes courage to be a soldier, whether on the field or not

i never said i didnt have any pride i said it FELT like they stole my pride. I just want this person to feel horrible about ahat they did, or just feel the way i did when i saw that they were gone.... idk maybe im just stupid.....

Hopefully they didn't do it out of hatred, I mean . . . I wouldn't think they did, but then again there are a bunch of crazy people out there.

awwww, thats sad

Well maybe the bumper stickers flew off while you were driving?

Anyway, a note won't do much unless the person returns to the scene of the crime!
But a note won't hurt, so you should try it.

^They aren't bumper stickers. They are magnetic. At least the one I had was. And mine got stolen too. I was pissed off because I finally got a support our troops ribbon for my car and then someone had to go and jack it. I mean c'mon, buy your own. Mine was like a dollar, so if you support our troops so much then instead of stealing someone else's, why not just go spend a buck on one for yourself. Gosh, some people these days...

they dont blow off not all at once, i have had them on there for a while and they never blew off.... i think the scene of the crime was my school parking lot, so if i put a note it would get back to that person, hell last week some one stole my gas cap and half a tank of gas from me!!! People at my school are horrible... im not sure thats where it happened tho, just my assumption....

exactly!!!! it just kinda p1sses you off doesnt it?.... maybe me a little bit more but hey we all have our... querks is that the word im looking for?? maybe... i dont know

army, thats awesome. my 2 best friends are in the national guard.
I'm a Marine. Hoorah!

Thats cool, army and marines are the two top military people HOOAH!!

That's just f**king shameful. Who steals such a patriotic accessory? I think maybe someone who wanted them and maybe some crazy anti-war person... in any case... you should hunt down whoever it was...

um
good for you?
*doesn't really care...*
but either way
that sucks.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure mine got taken at school too. So did my friend's.

sheesh, why would people want to steal those?
i'm sorry you lost your 'support our troops' thingies.
and i hope your fiance comes home safely. :)

They wanted to have the thrill of stealing decals from cars.

i dont know. i hope you find them. but personally, i don't support the war.

you can support the troops but not the war
hope you get it back. Heh Currently I only have two support ribbons stuck on my dad's car.

Navy > All other branches
Goin to RTC for the navy in Sept

it is shameful! And low! Well i found the scene of the crime.... ive cooled down a little bit about this but i do want to hunt this person down and show them what i learned in the army
im still going to put a few letters on my window.... Why do ppl have to take this like that, just because you dont support the war doesnt mean you cant support our troops, Also if you dont support any of it, it doesnt mean you have to steal other ppls thing showing they support them.... I can rep[lace them, but some of them my fiance had bought together, and i can replace that, we had bought them in his last few days here I know a lot of ppl dont care... but this whole thing really upset me...

that repulses me. i may not support the war in iraq, but i hope that all those concerned can come back safe to their families. i mean i suppose its fair to say they may not have recognized your personal connection, but still ot an excuse

im sorry. i hope your man is home soon.... write him everyday, and wish him well from all of CB
