Great idea. I passed a soldier in the airport just last week and tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Great job you guys are doing and we all really appreciate it."
I never stopped walking but the smile on his face was just fantastic and so appreciative.
Next soldier(s) gets lunch money from me.
I've been doing it for a couple of years. I gave one at church and told him I wanted to let him know that even though all he hears is negative I wanted to tell him I appreciated him so here's lunch. He looked at me and said, "So let's here something positive." We had a great talk and made his day.
Another time I told a cashier that I was paying for the soldier in line, he and his wife came over and talked for quite a while and couldn't believe it.
We need to start a Buy a Soldier Lunch Program.

My husband just got home from Atlanta. Two servicemen got on the flight returning from a tour of duty in Iraq. The flight attendant told the passengers that they were home for a short time and would be deployed again. My husband and his seatmate gave these 2 guys their 1st class seats.
