A Way to Honor all of Them

I don't know if this is actually true, but it seems as if it is. I think it is a great idea.

This is pretty neat (30 second video)...

Have you ever seen one of our military walking past you and wanted to convey to them your thanks, but weren't sure how or it felt awkward?
Recently, a gentleman from Seattle created a gesture which could be used and has
started a massive movement to get the word out.
Please everybody take just a moment to watch.... The Gratitude Campaign

I saw this before somewhere. It is loosely based on the real sign for thank you.....awesome idea.

Thanks for posting this. I'd seen it several months ago but deleted it out of my trash files. Then I promptly forgot what the "sign" was.

Last weekend Keller - the next town just north of me - has a "Fest" & they flew 150 soldiers & their spouses in from Ft. Hood for the event. They had a lot of very inspirational things to honor the military & thrill the crowd. They asked us to be sure & thank the soldiers when we passed them. I did it verbally, but at times it was kind of awkward & would've been great if I could've remembered this.

That;s too kewl....and it was nice to read the origins. I think from the heart is much deeper; and appropriate for the purpose. How thoughtful. Thanks for posting, this is just great for us shy folks......
