Military Times has put together a wonderful resource so we can all share in National Military Appreciation Month. There’s a great multimedia gallery, where you can view amazing, and often very moving, pictures and film clips. You can also submit a salute to a specific service member, everyone in the military, the families waiting for them to come back, or all of the above.
Take a few minutes to post your own salute. If you need inspiration:
“I salute my brother, my hero, Rick for all the courage and maturity he has displayed in the army these last four years. He is currently stationed at ft. bragg, NC and he already did one tour in Iraq in 2005.. For all of other deployed military men and women, i pray for your safe arrival home. God bless our troops. Without our military, our country couldn’t survive. Ricky, I love you. i can’t wait until you come home. You’re my older brother, my protector, and my HERO.”

Virginia“I would like to say a special thank you to my son, Kyle DeMitry, who is in the Navy and my daughter-in-law, Suzi DeMitry, who is in the Army. I am so proud of you both! I would also like to say thank you to all those serving in the states and abroad, thank you for keeping us safe and free. We owe you everything!!!!”

Also, do what I did a couple of weeks ago. If you see someone in uniform dining out or getting a cuppa joe, pick up the tab. It’s a tiny way to say thank you to people who are willing to do something most of us aren’t, but that we trust someone else will.
