The Gratitude Campaign

No comments

As the sister of a US Military serviceman, this is a subject that speaks close to my heart. I think this is a beautiful project, that isnt about politics, making it easy to simply thank servicemen and servicewomen that you see in public without either parties feeling akward. A simple handmotion based on sign language means “thank you from the bottom of my heart”. Regardless of political beliefs there are people that serve our communities and our country on a daily basis in many regards. I think this is a neat way to show gratitude.
