As the mom of a police deputy, I always thank them. As well as our military. If I can't get right up to them, I just give them the thumbs up. I'm from the Vietnam era and our military really got a bum deal. So I want to make sure that our young men and woman who are fighting for us know that they are appreciated. As for the police, they get too much negativity. I can't tell you how many times I've heard how bad the cops are because they pulled me over and gave me a ticket. Well, if you weren't speeding, you wouldn't have been pulled over and that officer might be out catching other bad guys. Ok, I've vented. That's a touchy subject to me.
