Recently at TIERRA Web Design and Hosting, we discovered a wonderful grass-roots movement that was sweeping the nation.

The Gratitude Campaign

The Founder of The Gratitude Campaign, Scott Truitt, has developed a fantastic, yet simple, gesture that we can all perform easily to show our appreciation to our military service men and women.

As Scott explained, “For the past several years as I’ve been traveling around the country, I’ve been approaching Soldiers in airports and thanking them for serving for us. On several occasions I have noticed that it felt a little awkward for both of us.”

“I started to think that it would be nice if civilians had a gesture or sign that they could use to say “thank you” quickly and easily without even having to approach. I did some research and found the sign that we are now using.”

“Is this limited to the military? Not at all. If you look around you I’m sure that you’ll find lots of people who are serving their communities, from local to global. If you appreciate their service, give them a sign,” Scott continued.

Say “thank you from the bottom of my heart.” – Scott Truitt, FOUNDER, The Gratitude Campaign

The staff of TIERRA Web Design and Hosting want to be an active advocate for this movement, and as such, we have created http://gratitude.tierrahosting.com!

This page highlights the message of Scott and has a short version of a video explaining this wonderful gesture of appreciation!
