The Gratitude Campaign

Another feel good moment brought to you by concerned civillians. We applaud, we applaud... but myabe it would have been cooler to have one called the "Gratitude Champagne" in which we buy our troops the good drink as opposed to the govenment issue sparkling cider.

On a serious note, here's the story behind this touching act of collective conscience. Check them out online: http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/

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."
