Title: My 'serious' side.....
Post by: GrayBeard on July 27, 2010, 03:25:43 pm
This is pretty neat.....(30 second video) ...
Have you ever seen one of your 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 .

Please pass it on.

Very nice GB. It is good to let those who protect you and all you hold dear know you are grateful. I like the way the international sign language is used in the gesture.

I wonder why we feel uncomfortable saying thank you?  I mean, I'm guilty of it myself yet I have no idea why.

Not to go off topic but everytime I see a man or woman in uniform I thank them for their service.  I feel obligated to but it's because I want to.
