“Thank you for your
service to our country.”
Like clicking on a seat belt, make it second nature to reach out to anyone you meet or see who is or has been in America’s military. Look for her or his hat, shirt, jacket, patch, car sticker, license plate. whatever quiet statement you see.
Then reach out to shake that person’s hand and simply say: “Thank you for your service to our country.” You won’t need to ask about it or explain yourself. You can be sure of a sincere, bright response.
If you’ve ever lived in or traveled to a dictatorship or third world nation, you positively know why you should be grateful.
“Thank you for
your service
to our country.”
This Holiday Weekend, let us each take a moment of silence out of our own lives and be thankful that we are even able to do that. Let us be thankful for the freedom we have—to walk down the street, to celebrate the holidays as we choose, and to express our opinions publicly without fear of reprisal . . . as long as we fight violence in our streets with calm, and terrorism when it emerges with every ounce of energy and dedication that our brave military thrives on.
. . . to travel freely between States without fear or intimidation or threats of being attacked or murdered, to pursue our careers and religious feelings and family lives in the ways that we choose, and to be able to choose in the first place
. . . to be able to vote and elect our representatives in government, to have so many dedicated young men and women serving so selflessly in our military, to have a flag and a nation we can be proud of.
“Thank you for
your service
to our country.”
There are so many more freedoms that we forget about most of the time, even on special holidays when we should most value and appreciate them.
Yet these are the things in life that count the most. They come from the courageous veterans of our military who have given their very lives, their body parts, their hearts and souls for us that we might enjoy our precious rights and freedoms.
Let us not hide behind family and friend gatherings, gifts, feelings of stress.
“Thank you for
your service
to our country.”
Next time –anytime– you meet or see someone who is or has been in America’s military. Reach out to shake that person’s hand and simply say, “Thank you for your service to our country.”

There are so many more freedoms that we forget about most of the time, that even on Memorial Day, we tend to lose behind hot dogs, hamburgers, baseball, beer and soda . . . behind family and friend gatherings, ice cream, boat rides and horseshoes.
Yet these, the very things in life that count the most, come from the courageous veterans of our military who have given their very lives, their body parts, their hearts and souls for us that we might enjoy our precious rights and freedoms.

“Thank you for your
service to our country!”
It’s so simple. That’s all it takes. Walk up to anyone in a military uniform — or anyone who proudly wears or displays an insignia identifying him or herself as a veteran or active officer or recruit, extend your arm to shake hands, look her or him in the eye and simply say: “Thank you for your service to our country!”
Not only will you make that person’s day, but (and this may surprise you) you’ll make your own as well. You’ll feel as pleased walking away as the person you took the ten seconds out of your life to stop!
Remember Memorial Day Weekend is more than beaches, BBQ’s and parties. It’s a time for tribute to those who have lost their lives and those who have served us all in defense of America.
What does this have to do with business to warrant attention on a business blog?
Your business and mine could not even exist without the courage, vigilance and protection of those who serve our country.
Thank you to all those who have served in and for the United States Armed Forces. You make and have made it possible for business owners and managers and entrepreneurs to be free to conduct business and grow business and make business work.
It is, after all, small business that has made this country great, and it will be small business that leads the way to economic recovery. You who have served our nation have kept small business pathways clear.
Now it’s the job of small business to step it up and take advantage of those openings to regain the economic stability that government and big business lost along the way.
TRY THIS:
“Thank you for your service to our country!”
YEAR-ROUND
Make this statement of appreciation part of your ongoing daily practice.
Extend these words with every armed services encounter (as well as the seldom-expressed recognition due our police, fire and EMS personnel too).
You will in fact be boosting your own business as well as your own reputation for caring about what’s truly important… because it is!”
