Subject: What a GREAT idea!


Have you ever seen one of our 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 massive movement to get the word out.

Please everybody take just a moment to watch.... The Gratitude Campaign
...and then forward it to your friends!

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

HI all, this is sign language for Thank You. It was not recently created but the idea to use it to thank our Military people was.

I received a video clip showing how to do this a few months ago and passed it around to everyone because I think it is a great idea. Sign language is a great idea as well and my 2 year old granddaughter is being taught sign language. This is truly a universal language and should be considered as a second language.

Some people look for happiness; others create it.

We are never alone in the forest of Sisters! We "Mountain Farmgirls" are outstanding in our field!

I wonder why they didn't just use the standard ASL sign? I guess if both the gesturer and the recipient know what it means, that's all that matters. But is the military going to train their people to recognize this gesture?
