Wag says: Never pass up the opportunity to thank a veteran! Old, young, in uniform, out of uniform, on the street, in an airport, in a restaurant, or just passing by … just extend your hand and say: “Thank You For Your Service!” It may start a new friendship! It will brighten the day! It will make you feel good! It will create a smile! It will let them know that you really care!
