The Gratitude Campaign

I've always had a soft spot in my heart, not to mention a deep respect and admiration, for the men and women of our armed services. I provide financial support when I can, but also look for other ways to say "thank you."

Sometimes, though, it can be a bit awkward (for both me and the service member) to figure out how to say something, do something, to tell them I appreciate their service and their sacrifice. The Gratitude Campaign provides a simple, heartfelt answer for all of us in this situation.

The Gratitude Campaign shows you how one small sign, a motion made with your hand, can say what your heart wants to say, without ever saying a word.

Check out the site, watch the video (warning: have a tissue ready!), or click on "Dig a Little Deeper" to learn more about the organization, the history of the sign and more. You'll be glad that you did, and so will our service members.

~*~*~ May you always remember to dance in the rain, and may you have plenty of ladybugs beside you! ~*~*~

Blessings,
Kat
