I celebrate Veterans Day by proudly displaying an American flag to recognize and honor all who have sacrificed so we may enjoy our freedoms. I celebrate Veterans Day by watching and participating in parades as a celebration and reenactment of our soldiers returning home after the war. I celebrate Veterans Day by buying poppies which are a somber reminder of Flanders field and those still buried overseas. All these symbols are deeply rooted in tradition and have special meanings. So now apparently the above is no longer enough to show your patriotism and appreciation for veterans. Now you're supposed to display a green light which, in my mind, has so particular significance in history and is redundant. When looking at the web pages, it's pretty obvious this is more about sales for wal-mart that taking care of veterans. If you chose to display a green light, I know you are a true American and love your country as much as life itself. I hope you think the same of me if I chose to stick with honoring our veterans in the traditional manner. Best Regards-Ski
