something some one emailed me...

I tried to post a video, it wouldn't work. Check out the link!!!!
But this is a message from the creator of The Gratitude Campaign:

"For the past several years as I've been traveling around the country, I've been approaching Soldiers in 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 Service Men & Women and Veterans. 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 from the bottom of my heart."

I love this movie! I got the chills all over. When Wes came home for Christmas during basic - everyone at the airport clapped for him and the other soldiers. He felt really weird because it's not like he'd really done anything, but it was still awesome. I think it really is cool when people can say thank you.
