If you have ever been in a situation where you thought about saying it, I would urge you to do it. You'll be amazed at the response. I guarantee it.

Thanks for your efforts with the Cantina. I hope this contributes in some small way.

[dware]

Thank you, sir.

I always take the opportunity to thank our vets. The Nam vets faces really light up when you thank them for their service....

[dware]

I’ve noticed that. Today, in fact, I thanked a Vietnam Vet. He had a smile on his face the whole time he was in the store.

Sometimes people can feel invisible and a few kind words or an acknowledgment can make a difference.....it sound like you made a difference in a strangers life today.....I bet your day was a little brighter too....

God Bless them all. Thank you, dware.

My Dad landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day and was in the battle of the Bulge. I've thanked him many times for his service and will continue to thank him and others for their service.

I’m on a one man crusade to thank our KOREAN WAR VETS who do NOT get the respect they deserve, although all veterans (including my father and grandfather) have nothing but my gratitude.

Everyone PLEASE remember our Middle East veterans...Don’t allow them to come home to what Viet vets faced...PLEASE!!!!!

“.Don’t allow them to come home to what Viet vets faced...PLEASE!!!!!”

NEVER, EVER, EVER! And I’m not saying that just because I’m the mother of one! Daddy raised his little girl right!

I have a vet help at the thrift store.He lied about his age to join and his 2 brothers joined too.He tells me stories and tells me to watch my back.He had a heart monitor on for a few days.I told him I was going to punch him to test it :)He watches over us as he did in the war.He is 78 years young.

Thank you for giving us another chance to thank our nation’s finest citizens.

I can’t imagine what it must be like to leave family, friends & familiar places to serve. My admiration for those who have done so is immense.

So thank you, all members of the United States Armed Services, current and past. When I think of you, or see you, or meet you, I feel so proud of our country. So proud you are my fellow citizen.
