  • We The People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence...

    You ALL make Our Country Proud every day! Thank You!

  • As a mother of a Marine I am so thankful every day for our men and women who serve to keep our freedom! I am full of pride for all our military! Semper Fi!

  • Your are doing a great job. And I for one really do appreciate you all. If there is anything I can do for you can find me on Facebook. Peace...

  • I totally missed out on sending in a photo! My husband is an Indiana National Guardsman and was stationed in Kuwait until Oct. We're still trying to get our lives back on the road. I want to let you know that I created Project Get A Military Service Member/Spouse Leid! as a way for family & friends to send warm fuzzies and thank yous. My husband and I came up w/it while we were in HI during his leave. My studio is on ArtFire and I would be happy to send you the direct link if you would like.

  • Fantastic Idea!

  • My father spent 22 years in the Navy and is now deceased a project like this would have brought tears to his eyes. I think this is awesome and I plan on helping with the cause.

  • this video was awesome... i will try to do something..

  • Awesome!!!!!!! Thanks :)

  • from a family of Marines, a fan of all branches and a lover of freedom, I salute your courage.

  • Everyone should show their gratitude to our armed forces for all of their sacrifices, and this seems like a great way to do it.

  • Yes it is and it doesn't cost a cent! How many people do you see with tons of photos on their Facebook or whatever, this takes ten seconds to do and our men and women really appreciate it.

  • Awesome! Thanks for sharing with us.

  • We have the best and brightest serving not only our nation, but taking freedom around the globe! Anything we can do to say thank you is the very least we can do. They earn and deserve the very best! Thank you, Troops!!! We salute You!!!

  • Thank you for the comment!

  • A wonderful video....my husband and I are both vietnam vets. I was looking up 'project gratitude' which was about sending soldier's widows and children to the Miss America pageant and found you. Thanks for this presentation. Whoever thought that sending these grieving family members to Las Vegas needs to have their head examined. We need to make sure these children are able to get as much education as they desire, because their fathers bought it with their lives.

  • AWESOME!!! Thanks for doing this!

  • I sent my photo in and pasted on my Facebook again to give my friends a shake up!

  • Can't decide what I want to do, smile or cry. As a sailor serving Canada - this is awesome and for those whoadd there images and gratitudes of appreciation - THANK YOU! Things like these are what makes serving that much more!

  • You haven`t seen anything yet, I have received so many photos from people age 3months old to 92 years old, from every corner of the world. People coming together in support of all forces from all branches and countries. Thank you for your service and stay tuned!

  • This is a super idea. The video is awesome and I can't wait to see the next part. I sent my pic saying thank you to the troops! Thank You for ALL you do!!!=)

  • Dave you never cease to amaze me- how much you do to help us say thank you to our soldiers is crazy, thank you.

  • Thank you for helping us thank the men and women that keep us safe...God Bless the USA...the land of the free and the home of the BRAVE :)

  • I agree with jb49646, this is great. I am so damn proud and thankful for our soldiers and people who care enough to do things like this !!! Great job, do keep the great work up....

  • It's great what you are doing and I'm proud to have participated..Keep up the excellent work guys!

  • Thank you everyone, for your efforts to make this project all that it can be. I can't wait to see the finished project. This is a wonderful project. I hope everyone will want to be involved by submitting their thanks!

  • Thank a Vet every chance you get.

  • Good JOB!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you so much for doing this! God Bless all of our troops!

  • Every Citizen of the United States should be graceful for not having to fight these wars in our own land, because our Warriors are fight the enemies on their own turf. I send to each and every one of the a great Thanks to them and their families, who are making the ultimate sacrifice for America.

  • This is awesome, I just sent my picture today.

  • A show of appreciation is long overdue. We honor the fallen but the living that are in the trenches need to know that their efforts are acknowledged. Its like giving flowers while a person is still alive aand can enjoy them.

  • This is FANTASTIC!!! We have recently just lost a solider in our hometown and we still have friends and even people we don't know over there fighting for OUR freedom. So thank GOD for them today and God Bless the people of The Gratitude Project!! <3

  • I love this idea. My family and friends are working on our signs and will be sending them soon!

  • Thank all of you and God Bless each and everyone of you. May God keep you safe until your return!

  • Such a great idea to support the people overseas, makes me proud to be a soldier.

  • Thank you all for doing the job necessary to keep the country FREE.

    God Bless You

  • Thank you to all the Men and Women serving in the Arm Forces all over the world for protecting and serving their country and keeping us free everyday.

  • War should/will always be a "dirty word," something undesirable. But while this necessary evil exists, I am grateful to all the men and women who risk their lives for often intangible but very "real" causes.

  • This Canadian says THANK YOU & GOD BLESS!

  • Thank you to 'All' the 'Brave' men/women who have sacrifieced so much to protect your homelands whether you believe in War or not....Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping me & my family safe here! God Bless & may you all come home SAFE - God Speed

Please stand strong and support our men and women bothe here and abroad and pray for their safe return! America stand strong for your rights and freedom! ~*~

  • I love including my group members of Thank A Soldier in my projects and this one is something special. Photos from everywhere and people are going all out its amazing to see and to the soldiers and families I have shown this too so far it means the world to them so THANK YOU ALL as well!

  • THANK YOU.... GOD BLESS AMERICA

  • I thank all whom have served(ing) in our Military. They are our Heroes & whom we THANK for keeping us safe & for protecting our most treasured FREEDOM! May the Lord keep them out of harms way until they return to the loving arms of their family & friends & THEIR GREAT NATION. God Bless America!

  • I want to thank the USA & the American people for opening their hearts & their country to my family & I almost 50 years ago when fleeing a Communist dictatorship that still exists today. The USA is a great and kind nation & it's people the most generous in the World.

  • Thank you for launching and organizing such a great project for our military men and women!

  • super job thank you!

  • Thank you to THANK A SOLDIER and to our Soldiers who bare such a burden of harsh elements and lonelyness to preserve our freedom in spite of the fact that Congress and the United Nations are working so hard to destroy everything !

  • Dommage. En fait, moi, je suis plus fière des quelques Roumains qui sont partis en Haïti pour aider les gens et surtout les enfants en souffrance que pour ceux d'Iraq ou Afghanistan ! C'est un véritable volontariat fait du coeur !

  • Le risque de perdre votre vie n'est pas aussi grand. Il n'y a aucune comparaison!

    "You can't compare the two. When you go to war, there'sa good possibility you may not return alive".

  • disneyvisite07@ Tout d'abord tu dis que le risque n'est pas aussi grand, même si je viens d'écrire qu'on a eu des Roumains morts et blessés et après tu dis qu'il n'y a aucune comparaison ! Oui, les Français disent "Comparaison n'est pas raison", mais ce n'est pas le cas ici, tu n'as RIEN compris de ce que j'ai voulu mettre en relief ! Pas la peine d'insister avec toi, disneyvisite07 !

  • disneyvisite07@Je me rejouis en revanche que les Roumains ont pleinement participé au télédon organisé par UNICEF et une télévision roumaine pour aider les enfants innocents de Haïti et ça va continuer pendant un mois. L'empathie et les sentiments humains, c'est ce qui compte pour moi. Pas les intérêts égoïstes et mesquins.

  • Ils n'ont qu'environ 30 ans...Officiellement, on dit en Roumanie qu'ils sont là pour la sécurité internationnale, pour que la démocratie et la civilisation vainquent.

  • Mais nos militaires à nous sont là parce qu'on leur paie beaucoup d'argent, pas par le sens du devoir. Ils ont des familles, des enfants et ils veulent la plupart s'acheter des maisons. D'ailleurs, il y a de plus en plus moins de volontaires.

  • J'ai vu dans la vidéo le drapeau de mon pays aussi. Il y a également des Roumains là-bas, depuis presque sept ans. Il y a environ mille officiers et soldats, soit en Iraq ou Afghanistan. On enverra encore 600 000 en Afghanistan à la demande du président Barak Obama.

  • God bless ISAF and NATO ,we need them more than ever!

  • Thank you soldiers, men & WOMEN; for keeping us safe & secure! AMEN.....

  • great job,,thanks

  • Awesome, thank you.

  • awesome I could not be prouder of ALL of the ISAF troops

  • this is a great idea. thank you so much to all those that have and are serving.

  • For sure will send you a picture! Thank you for doing this! :)

    *Lisasaid_whaaat on Twitter*

  • Proud Canadian, proud of NATO

  • God bless NATO. Turkey represent!

  • This video is GREAT, but ya know, there isn't any verbal words or physical actions to tell our soldiers - our real heroes- just how much the United States citizens greatly appreciate what our USA soldiers are doin' for their country. I know that our country is very happy knowing that we have men and women who willing to sacrifice their life for believing in what is right.

  • this is a great idea and a great video!

    thanks to you for putting it together also!

  • to all the good Soldiers out there thanx!

  • Our soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen are the real heros of our times. As a nation we give so much attention and Glory to the hollywood elite, sports stars, politicians, TV talking heads, and others, but the real Heros of our time, the men and women we owe more than we will ever know, are our military. Thanks for giving so much of yourselves, so much more than we can know, thanks for all the risks you take, and the great ambassador role you live every moment of every day. God Bless you.

  • Thank you is not enough for everything they do for our country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • thank you so much! <3

  • amazing!

  • I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed for helping us with this, Gene has put the link to our video on his website today and the response has been amazing, the emails are coming in like crazy and so many people want to get involved, so again, THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is going to mean so much to our men and women , thank you to everyone sending in photos too they are amazing to look through and I love working on this!

  • gene simmons teh kiss guy

  • The video is truly amazing and touches your heart. Thank you for everything you and are doing. Words just can not express the gratitude that we have for our men and women.

  • Thank you to all our service men and women so very much. As a Marine Mom, I understand how hard it is for you to leave family and friends to serve and protect all of us.

  • Great video!!! We Love our soldiers!!

  • We do for love. We do it for freedom. We do it for life. We do it because of our faith in a God of love and justice and truth. We just do it because we really care. Thanks for all you have done are doing and will do. As a soldier myself 91-94, I would do it again. Defend and Protect the innocent there is no greater love than a man lay down his life for his friend' Jesus said that. God bless America.

  • thank you!!!

  • Even though I don't know you brave soldiers personally I feel more connected to you than I do some of my friends and relatives. You are you there putting your life on the line to protect me and my family from harm and defend our Constitutional Rights. God Bless and protect each and every one of you every day of your lives.

  • The Revolution was my family's first time to serve this nation during war. It has always been something that was just done and not talked about much (except to mourn those that died) . So it is with gratitude beyond measure that I say thank you. I know the sacrifice and the heart ache, but I also know the pride and sense of accomplishment that goes with your service. GOD bless you and keep you until you return home again.

  • To all our heroes aka soldiers, we thank you from the bottom of our American hearts. Hope your home soon!

  • This goes out to all service members, around the world... THANK YOU

    There are currently service members heading over, or already in Haiti, helping and supporting that country in its time of crisis. Being in the Service is not just about conflict, it is also about support and helping other countries in their times of need. So, again I say, Thank You. I keep you in my thoughts. Be safe.

  • well done! I saw a soldier on tv today who had her leg blown off from a roadside bomb, and she had no bitterness or anger about it and said she would do it again! That's what makes you all so special...THANK YOU to ALL men and women who risk life and limb to keep us safe.

  • want to personally Thank all the Armed Forces, on their job well done. Especially my kids that are serving our country. Pfc Subia, Jonithan and Pvt. Luna, Marie.. What a wonderful project this is. Bless Be!!!

  • Everything we have personally and as a nation was made possible because a veteran fought and sacrificed. From the Revolutionary War to the war in Iraq, a veteran somewhere at sometime made it all possible. To all the veterans, my deepest heartfelt thanks from a very grateful citizen, your sacrifices have not gone unnoticed.

  • Yes I think we should thank the men and woman as much as we can so they know just how much we appreciate them...thank you from the bottom of my heart :)

  • I just wanted to send a HUGE THank you to Shannon Tweed and Gene Simmons who have submitted a photo for this project. It won't be shown until the video is done but amazing to see them helping us out!

  • Awesome video! One great way to show our men and women in uniform that we care!!!

  • Wonderful!!! Our men and women in the armed services need out support. What a great way to show them we care.

  • This is a great way to show our troops that we care. My sincere thanks to all the troops who undergo dangerous & deadly situations for peace. Thank you.

  • Awesome job!! Can't wait to see the thing as a whole.Alex can't wait for Uncle Jake to see him saying thank you!!!! This is an awesome thing you are doing. Keep it up!!! God Bless!

  • Awesome way to say thanks! Great way to really put a face on each and every one of us!

  • Great video! Thanks to every soldier who serves and protects!

  • Because of them, we get to do what we do!! GOD BLESS !!

  • It's a nice way to show our appreciation and to let them know we are thinking of them for all their sacrifices and the sacrifices of their families.

  • This is a fantastic idea - words cannot express the appreciation I feel for the freedoms they ensure we have.

  • Great video. God Bless our service men and women who risk their lives everyday for our freedom.

  • Well. Once again you guys brought a tear to my eye. Thanks to the soldiers that have picked up the banner of freedom and carrying it forward from where we left it after we retired from military service.

  • Awesome Dave and I will be sending in a photo!

    Deb Cottrell - Proud American and member of the WV Patriot Guard Riders.

  • Thank you to ALL our forces & troops for all you do to make our lives better.We love you & APPRECIATE YOU! We want you home SAFE very SOON! Salute...From Texas

    I will be making my video & emailing it on my facebook

  • How about including a few pictures of soldiers, holding a sign that says "You're Welcome"??

  • Oh there are plenty of those however they say "Thank You" For the support not "You're Welcome" Everytime I have thanked a soldier in person they always say "I'm just doing what I love" but knowing people are thinking about them back home means a lot trust me.

  • I personally find it sickening that you need a (your welcome) when these men & women are out there dying for your freedom to be so unappreciative & needy..

  • We owe them everything, Personaly, I don't fell they owe us anything. They are doing what we asked of them.

  • kilroyski - Instead of "you're welcome", let me say THANK YOU to you for reminding me that our military is out there every day fighting even for people like you - ungrateful souls. A "thank you" is the least any of us can do - it certainly pales in comparison to what they do for us. I'm sorry you are such an obviously miserable person. I hope your day goes well.

  • Proud daughter of a Marine! :)

  • Thank you! Great Project!

  • Superior idea and presentation!!

    Bless 'em All

  • Superior idea and presentation!!

    Bless 'em All

  • AWESOME!!!....I cant wait to see the final video..and I cant wait for my brothers n sisters in arms to see that many many of "us" over here remember them..and thank them every singles day.!

  • This is a great idea. I can't wait for the soldiers to see the final project! Thank you!

  • Great work! Awesome.

  • From someone that supports our military 365 days a year, this is an amazing idea! Keep it going please.

  • I sent my photo in yesterday! I'm also so glad to hear that you're not making just the one video and going to keep this going. The news that you have more photos that can fit in a ten minute youtube video is amazing! I however think for this YouTube should give you a one hour limit for it!

  • Awesome! Thank You! Former member of the Canadian Forces

  • Thanks to all our current troops, veterans anyone who has ever enlisted to serve for our country I salute you!

  • you Rock Dave!!! THANK YOU TROOPS :) xoxoxo

  • What a great video and awesome idea!

  • A great idea for so many soldiers who need a little cheering up overseas.

  • Awesome !!! They really need something like this, for all too often, they truly do feel forgotten. God Bless America & the men & women who protect her.

  • awesome idea! thank you!!!

  • Very cool idea!
