I love the idea, but I'm kinda confused about the sign...... maybe it's some other sign/signal I don't know about, but the American Sign Language hand sign for "thank you" begins with the fingertips to the chin (not chest) and moves forward and down...... a very similar action, but also very different. I'd hope someone wouldn't form a "campaign" around an errant sign.... because then no one will understand what you are saying and they will never receive their due thanks... :hmmmm:

@audioajunkie Please see our web site for more information about the history and origins of The Sign.

Thanks!

The US military: the world's largest terrorist cell since 1861!

@fudgebarjohn Celebrating your freedom of speech, I see. You might thank a service member or Veteran for defending that right for you... since 1861...

I have been thanking people in uniform, or wearing hats, shirts that lets me know they have served, for awhile now. About 4 years ago a man in uniform was on his cell phone so I could not tell him"Thank You" So I came home and printed busness cards and now hand them out. I have made 2 grown men cry, I got on hug and a lot of handshakes. I am truly thankful for the service and sacrifice these men and women make for our country. I don't like war but I am THANKFUL for our troops! God Bless them!

Expressing the gratitude you feel for what our soldiers do is something that makes everyone fell better.

[Amillionmes]

@Amillionmes I want to amend my comment. I thank you for all you do to protect our freedoms. Much obliged. ;)

[Amillionmes]

I'll thank a soldier for his service to the nation when they storm Washington New York and Hollywood with their tanks and helicopters and deal justice to our worst enemies.

@gratitudecampaigne-I would like to get more info on "The Sign". I know the universal sign language sign is different, and you had mentioned that it is available on the website...do you have a link I can go to to find out more?

Thank you for posting this! :D

@fudgebarjohn

Quite possibly true, but this video is not the place for this comment. You know all the ramifications that are involved in being a soldier, and if you don't, you should learn. They don't choose the wars in which they serve. They are under paid volunteers.

Thankfully, to Bush 2, for signing the agreement, and Obama, for carrying out that agreement, they are coming home from Iraq, finally.

I was so thrilled to find this! I have a 4-year-old son who I've been teaching to tell soldiers "Thank you for your service," but he is so shy and says it so quietly - this will be perfect!!!
