And this is for everyone, not just huldah1776...
Make an effort to thank a “troop” whenever you can...Don’t allow our servicemen and women to come home to the reception I and my fellow Viet vets received when we came home...
Show ‘em we really care....
On Monday my daughter took me to lunch at Cracker Barrel. As we were walking in, I saw a young soldier crossing the parking lot with his wife, I went over shook his hand and said "Thank You for your service". My daughter had tears in her eyes. Then an older gentleman thanked me for thanking the soldier. I told him I do it all the time, I said that I didn't want them to be treated the way my husband was when he was in the Army.
