View Full Version : Gratitude Salute
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 to express your thanks and has started a movement to get
the word out..

Yea, I heard this on the radio about 3 weeks ago. It's a gay idea started by a fairy. Offer a drink or a handshake like we've done for the last 40 years.

Corny. I say good job baby killers. Just kidding. Fuck the hippies. I'd something something along the lines of, "How come you're all fat and out of shape, but armies like North Korea's look fucking hardcore?" No, just kidding again.
I agree that is the corniest thing I have ever seen. I will not joke about their service to this country though. I thank them for what they have done.

I believe I did copyright that when we made it for you RC. Should we charge your brother royalties?

So you never want to get paid on it. At least if you charged RC you may get paid on it.

Yea, the gesture is a clear violation of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy. lol

Hell Yeah !!!
Sometimes I am in a rush, but a handshake and a hearty thank you when I can!
If I see, or pass a convoy on the big road I give that air horn a long draw, and a thumbs up !!!!
