I only want to express my gratitude for having me.

Good to hear every now and then that us bunch of ragged fools here can help.

It means more than cold hot dogs and fly ridden stale burgers on Driver Appreciation week

 

Someone here should probably "flip the script".....

WE (the Forum) should be offering mucho thanks & gratitude...to YOU -- for your time in the military.

Some people get meaning in life by trying to help people. Being grateful, polite, direct as @Firas has been will go a long way to him finding help. I miss the early days of my career, in the early 90s, when I could barely park the truck and walk back to the mechanism to slide my trailer wheels before another driver would be offering to help me. That used to take more effort than it does now with the modern air-release system. Not one of those kind drivers would let me buy a cup of coffee in return for the help. I offered to buy a coffee or cold drink for every one of them. I also offered to help everyone having real difficulty backing into a parking spot/or dock door until I received too many invitations for a fist fight. I was always sensitive to how I offered help and what I said and made sure to agree the spot was difficult which I why I was offering help. It was easier back when CBs were in use. Someone said the best way to say thank you and mean it is help the next guy in need when you see him and have something to offer. Bob helps John and then John helps Mike and so on. I think we have a duty to help someone that wants help. Now many people just want to video the disaster as it happens instead of helping.

I also appreciate @Firas serving the country via the Marine Corp.
