A very cool idea for the troops. A gesture that’s easy to remember. Easy to do. And hard to forget.
UPDATE: A friend likes this one but also suggests others: "The sign language gesture is good to know about and it’s quite nice. I use several other better known gestures at airports and on the street, a quick salute, or flash the ‘A-OK’ sign with the thumb and index finger, or quietly clap my hands (as in applause). Those all work great to get the message across. There are others when you stop and think about it such as the gals could blow them a kiss. That could keep a guy awake on night guard duty in Iraq remembering that."
