I send my silent Thank you to all who have protected us, stood for us, and did their brave duty even to the point of death.
As long as I can rise to my feet I will put my hand over my heart and applaud afterward when I hear our national anthem.
If I see a young serviceman, usually in fatiques now, I will quietly go up, give their arm a squeeze and say "Thank you!" They invariable respond with "Thank you Maam.
This is a wonderful country, the greatest place in the world, and we are allowed to live this beautiful life of liberty due to the servicemen and women who have protected and continue to protect our freedoms.
