Loved Of The LORD,
I am so thankful for the men & women who Serve our Country!
I try to shake every hand, as I come face to face with them. Maybe not convenient or in the right situation, at least give them The Sign!
Tell Scott Truitt Thanks for putting it together:

The Gratitude Campaign
The Story of How it all got started
For the past several years as I've been traveling around the country, I've been approaching soldiers in the airports and thanking them for serving for us. On several occasions I have noticed that it felt a little awkward for both of us. There are several reasons, some of which I am even just now learning as I produce this film and talk to more soldiers. But they have always appreciated being thanked, and I have always felt better having expressed my gratitude.
I started to think that it would be nice if civilians had a gesture or sign that they could use to say "thank you" quickly and easily without even having to approach. I did some research and found the sign that we are now using.
Is this limited to the military? Not at all. If you look around you I'm sure that you'll find lots of people who are serving their communities, from local to global. If you appreciate their service, give them a sign. Say "thank you."

Interesting that you should bring this up. April 25 is Anzac Day here in Australia where we remember with particular ceremonies those Australians and New Zealandes who fought in WWI and WWII and the many other wars our soldiers have been involved in. This year for the first time a special ceremony took place at Villers-Bretonneux to remember what took place there in WWI. The numbers of diggers dwindle each year to be replaced by famiy members who March to the various memorial sites. On this Day we especially remember with gratitude thse who served. However, it is also good to show gratitude to those who cross our path in the day to day affairs of life.
