Just like wearing a pink ribbon stands for I had/have fought breast cancer or a red ribbon is for choosing to be drug free. A purple ribbon is for domestic violence.

And you don't think a person who has chosen to serve his country and his people as a Senator is a proud American? Because it seems to me that you're saying the symbol is more important than actions and words.
What I find sad is that people still fall for this. Instead of focusing on the real issues, you're pissed off because a guy isn't wearing a pin. Do you know how silly that is? There are people dieing in a pointless war, and instead of worrying about what the candidates say about what they're going to do to end the war, you're worried that one of them isn't wearing a freaking pin. You fell for the same old political bait and switch that has been going on for years.
