The Gratitude Campaign, Say Thanks to the Troops
Dec 12, 2007 Military
I travel quite a bit for work and when I am in the airports I see a lot of men and women in uniform. I go up to them, shake their hands, and thank them for their service to our country. They always say “your welcome” or “no problem” but I can see in some of their faces that they are a bit embarrassed by it. I also know people who want to say thanks but are timid about approaching the troops.
There is a new campaign underway called the Gratitude Campaign and it uses the sign language sign for saying thank you as a way to communicate thanks to the troops. I think this is a great idea and and though I will continue to shake hands and give a verbal thanks, for those times I cannot do so I will use this sign as a way of communicating my gratitude to our brave men and women.
May God bless them and this country.
