We say: Merry Christmas, God Bless America and In God We Trust. We salute our troops and our flag. If this offends you. leave!"

Jolley says he paid for the sign himself and wanted to give voice to what he considers to be a "silent majority."

Jolley says he has received overwhelming support from the community and plans to install more of the signs around the county, with some residents having offered to pay for them.
