Support our troops

Support our troops (French: Appuyons nos troupes; Spanish: Apoya a nuestras tropas) is a slogan commonly used in the United States and Canada in reference to each country's military forces or troops. The slogan has been used during recent conflicts, including the Gulf War and the Iraq War.

Awareness ribbons
Red, white, and blue: U.S. patriotism
Red: Armed forces support; Canadian patriotism
Yellow: Armed forces return

The slogan is sometimes seen as overgeneralizing complex issues; for example, an individual may support personnel in the military but not the current respective government's foreign policy.
