Wow, thats great.

Simple, to the point and you don't have to interrupt people to convey such an important message.

Thanks Mike

Thanks Mike, even the movie is very powerful. I'm going to remember that next time I see on of our brave soldiers and want to say thank you.

BTW, thanks Tom

Thank you for that very much, my son is serving in Iraq, when he came home on leave in March for 18 days there were 1500 people and the whole Dallas Texas fire dept there waiting to welcome and thank the 200 soldiers who got off that plane.. it meant alot to my son, he even cried, and he never cries.
