this is a hell of a lot better welcome home than that stupid gratitude campaign. that so called gratitude campaign is a joke. that hand jesture they use is for deaf people or democrats and republicans who are to afraid to say it in words and are afraid of what people might. think. i say shame on people who hide behind a hand jesture meant for deaf people. i say even if your across the way. take the time to walk up to them and shake their hand or say a simple thank you.

My ex-husband, a combat veteran US Marine, was greeted in the airport on his trip home by protesters who called him a baby-killer and spit on him...that was SUCH a sad time in the US (Vietnam era).

Because of that, I will go out of my way to thank EVERY service member I encounter.

this is a hell of a lot better than that gratitude campaign bullshit. we as americans shouldnt hide behind a hand jesture meant for the deaf/hearing impared. if you have a voice use it. thank a soldier. lets use our freedom of speech a freedom men and women died for so we could keep that freedom. thank a soldier with words not with a hand jesture meant for people who cannot speak.

Is there ever a wrong way to say thank you when you believe someone has done a service for you? You may or may not agree with the method chosen, but it's still a thank you for a job well done. The very fact you can chose what you want to do is due to the actions of some soldier sometime previously.

@srob1022 I am sorry they did that to you'r husband and our other troops. I was a kid when we were fighting in Vietnam. But my brother was there too and in my home all our slodiers were heros. I like to say thank you to you'r husband and to you.

this is a hell of a lot better than that stupid gratitude campaign they want us to use a hand jesture meant for the hearing impared-deaf. i say if you have a voice then be a man or woman and go up to them and thank them and not hide behind a hand jesture meant for people who cant speak. its a shame people are afraid and ashamed to thank a soldier in public when they put their life on the line to have the freedoms we enjoy. in short dont be a pussy say thanks.

Wonderful, and a great thing to wake people up to! You who thought the gratitude campaign was so terrible - you have an anger problem. You who agreed - no mind of your own to consider how out of place it was. Peopel will do both...ot other ways of showing they care. It's up to the individual. Sometimes a Vet simply is not comfortable being approached directly. I know this from working with them! Usually it's fine. Whatever people do to say "you matter, thanks" from the heart is of value.
