My friend just sent me this link and the video is fantastic. It really answers the question of how us civilians can express our gratitude anytime we happen to see one of our troops out and about.
Somebody told me once to just go up to them and give them a big hug to say thank you. Well, that sounds very nice, but I don't possess the confidence to embrace a total stranger on the street....not to mention the fact that that particular soldier may not WANT that kind of contact from a stranger, either.
I hope this catches on and becomes a universally recognized gesture to everyone, civilian and military alike. :-D
