START USING THE SIGN

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 movement to get the word out.
Please everybody take just a moment to watch.... The Gratitude Campaign;
.......and then forward it to your friends! THEN START USING THE SIGN.

the gratitude campaign: watch the short video

I totally agree. We also around here have many that greet the planes when units deploy and come home.

It is important.

Hey man, thanks for you service! I was just a baby in 1968 - but I still respect and honor your and every other Vietnam Vet's sacrifices.

Thanks for your service, from one to another. Served in OEF....it was there I gained a whole new level of respect for the Vietnam Vets. How ya'll did it was nothing short of a miracle. That goes for any war prior to the ones we are fighting now. Now, we have email, internet, phones etc. Ya'll barely had mail, and in my opinion, the fighting was much more brutal. There's not much I can say that can convey my thoughts for ya'll.

You Sir, are a hardass and deserve nothing but respect.

Most definitely one of the best uses of our tax dollars.
