Letter: Chest-pounding gratitude

Yes, I understand that no additional funds were spent for the recent Blue Angels flyovers. It was training they would be doing anyway.But now can someone explain to me how thanks and respect are shown by pounding one's chest and displaying their military might? Gratitude, in my eyes, has always been more quiet and sincere. But that's just me.Scott Perry, Salt Lake CitySubmit a letter to the editor
