Greenlightavet 2016: meaningful? Participating or still cynical? Should we hang strings of all colors of lights to shout our support to all?

Probably wouldn't be feasible to display multiple lights for fear the sheer number might diminish each one individually. Each represents a supremely worthy cause. I would prefer to pick one (or maybe two) which move me the most and display them for a respectful period of time.

While I am all for supporting each other, why must one "movement" be "taken over" by others? GreatLightAVet started as a way for people to show their support. Across this country hundreds of stores sold out of very green light bulb they had. That is awesome. Then blue lights came up for police officers, again this is awesome. What leaves me scratching my head is the idea that we can't just display one light. The idea of a strip of multi-colored lights is just crazy to me. For me, and I think for most of us out there, we show our support through our actions but with lights and without. RP is a great example of that. Here, you see people of every back ground coming together to provide meaningful help to others. The tie that binds us, our service in the military, is merely just that; the thing that connects us. I think it's our personalities and the way we thing that allows us to truly work well together; with or without a strip of lights.

My wife put our green light out on the 2nd of Nov. her father was a vet, along with several relatives on both sides. Welcome back MAJ.
