Shake A Soldiers Hand

I support our brave troops and all the troops from other countries fighting for freedom, both here in the United States and abroad. Most of my family are women, so I don't know too many soldiers personally. However, I worked in a gas station for 2 years. I remember several soldiers coming in in uniform. I always shook their hand, thanked them for their service, and insisted on paying for whatever they were buying. With so many Americans seemingly concerned about our troops, it would be nice if more of them offered to buy their coffee while standing behind a soldier in line at a gas station. At least shake their hand and thank them for defending your liberties.

If a man or woman puts their life on the line for you, there should be very little you're not willing to do to reciprocate.
