HARTFORD, Conn. — Local man Kyle Jennings, who has a yellow ribbon bumper sticker and says he "loves our troops," has never actually met someone who has served in the United States military.

"I think I saw a troops recruiting at my children's high school once, but of course I would never consider letting my son join," said Jennings. "We go to college in this family."

In addition to the Army t-shirt he wears to the gym the three times a year that he exercises, Jennings shows his support for the troops by posting a thank you message on social media every Labor Day, Fourth of July, "or whatever that troops holiday is," sources confirmed.
