When I pulled into SpeediLube this am for the oil change, the vehicle in front of me proudly displayed a yellow "Support Our Troops" magnetic sign along with a "United States Navy" decal across the back window. Couldn't pass up this opportunity, and this young Naval Officer received a heartfelt "Thank You for serving our Country." Found out he's a Naval Reserve officer and served as XO on a Coastal Patrol Craft out of San Diego (Coronado) as well as serving in The Gulf. He will be deploying to WESTPAC in the near future.
Later, at PetSmart, we found out our instructor's daughter is in the Air Force serving in Turkey loading cargo aboard flights bound for the troops in Iraq and Afganistan. She seemed please to pass on our words of "Thanks for serving" to her daughter and son-in-law.
