p> WEAR RED br> Re: Ben Stein's America! : /p> p>God Bless Ben Stein -- he has done it again with his unique way of putting things in perspective. He has a gift which he uses well. Heat/keyless entry systems are annoying for sure, but nothing at all when compared to what our fine brave men and women endure, and thus ensuring that we continue to be annoyed by the minor things in life. I've received several email messages over the past few days suggesting that we who support the troops wear red on Fridays 'till they come home. How about it? br> -- Barb McCarty br> Berlin, New Jersey /p>

I just finished Ben Stein's article "America!" After hearing some disgusting accusations made about our troops by politicians and the press, it's affirmation of how most Americans really feel about our young men and women serving this country.

p>After a period of time it became too automatic to say "Thank you for your service." So now, when I meet one of our young people in uniform, I say "Thank you for giving me one more reason to be proud of my country." br> -- Larry
