Wanted some input... Stand Behind Our Troops Magnets
« on: August 04, 2006, 23:20:07 »
I am ordering magnets that say "If you can't stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them!"  There have been alot of people here, officers included, that want one when they come in.  I am trying to figure out how many to order and wondered what people here thought.  I will mail them out to other bases if requested.  Some feedback would be appreciated.  There's nothing else like these around that i've seen.

Thanks

[/rant]

One of the cashiers at the Canex here in Pet has said they were / are seriously considering getting some magnets in that say "This is where my 'Support Our Troops' magnet used to be before someone stole it." I know I have re-bought quite a few magnets for both my and Rachel's families that people have decided they needed more as well. It's starting to get quite irritating. I guess $3.00 cuts too far into some people's cigarette and beer money  ::)

I do wish they would make them in a sticker form - much harder to steal plus I don't have to remember to remove it from my tailgate before I take my truck through the carwash ;D

Perhaps you can get them discounted at the Car Wash.   ;D

Put me down for 2.  Don't want to hijack the thread but does anyone here think the lettering on the Canex ones is too small?  Could be I need glasses but can't read them from more than 10 feet away.
