Here is a special way to silently thank American troops ... by just doing so with the hand
sign intended to communicate "thank you from the bottom of my heart".
To make the sign simply place your hand on your heart as though you're saying the Pledge of Allegiance. Then pull your hand down and out, bending at the elbow (not the wrist), stopping for a moment at about the belly button with your hand flat, palm up, angled toward the person you're thanking.
