It's not enough. I sit and watch a man in uniform sitting next to me at the airport as person after person comes over to shake his hand and say "thank you".
It's nice, but it's not enough. A handshake doesn't help our troops.
Don't just thank a Veteran today, do something to show them how important they are. Like the Tempe, Arizona church that is hanging a "boot tree" with paper boots for the donations their families are making. Like the Los Angeles trivia game, where they passed the hat to raise money so our soldiers and marines could phone home from their combat zones. Like the man who stood up in a group of strangers and asked them all to donate because it was the right thing to do.
We can shake their hands, but it's not enough. Let's give them a hand this Veteran's Day!
