I can't be the only one who finds this more than a little tacky.
We saw it last year at the 4th of July fest and then I saw it again this year. I was thrilled to find that the friend I was there with felt the same way.
What on earth are people thinking? Are they thinking at all? I wish I could have been at the meeting where they pitched that idea...
so that I could have hit them all repeatedly.

I'm a former military wife (the wife part is current, it's only the military part that's former), trying to find out where we fit in the civilian world.
Heeeeeeere's Reiza
About the title
In While They're At War, Kristin Henderson compares military life with going to Mars. When you return to the civilian world, you step off the spaceship and return to Earth for good, only to find you're out of place.
******************
She's right and we're adjusting. Welcome to my Earth where we still dream in Martian and search desperately for our place in the world.

Yes, please, let us hit them all repeatedly. I was so torn because I knew Aaron would love going down that with his dad, but there was No Freakin' Way I could reward that kind of idiocy with cash.

Amazing what people think of.
re your question on my blog about where I got the graphic, the answer is I don't remember! I visit so many blogs i can't keep track but if I come across it I will let you know.
Have they no shame?!? If I showed up at a party and saw that, I would have to leave. It could only get worse from there.
"Your" not the only one who finds this offensive! I do too! and I would definitely keep my kids "off of" it as well.
Can you tell I was a proofreader in a former life?
phooey
