I had an idea today!
Every 2 weeks when I get paid, I am going to buy 4 – $5 Starbuck’s Gift Cards or some other popular gift card, and as I see military soldiers out in public I am going to give them one as a Thank you for all they sacrifice for our freedom and to protect millions of people they have never met. $20 every two weeks is a small investment to say Thank you to someone who has sacrificed so much for me.
Someone was talking about visiting soldiers in Walter Reed Hospital and how there was a lot of amputees in the wards. It made me think how those soldiers have had to pay a higher price than me, for the same freedoms and liberties I get to enjoy. They get no extra freedoms or liberties for their sacrifice, yet it has cost them so much.
Join Me! Go spend $20 on 4 gift cards to anywhere, and as you see a soldier give it to them and tell them ‘Thank You!’ for their sacrifice!
Great idea!
I will!
great idea…
gift cards are also good for giving to the homeless.
I think I will do that 2…
Sweet idea !
I stopped a soldier just the other day to thank her for all that she does. She looked at me with the most bewildered expression. Then, and this is so sad, she thanked me for thanking her because no one had ever told her “thank you.” ! That means I really need to step it up on saying thank you to the soldiers.
Thanks for another way to let them know I am grateful.
