On the simplest level, the gesture seems pretty meaningless. What am I or anyone else in that crowd actually doing to support the troops?

Are you doing more sharing these days? In a virtual sense, most of us would probably answer yes. Sharing political petitions, photos shot with our mobile phones, and of course, cute cat stuff. But what about sharing in the real world - are you doing more of that? Well, as a society the answer again is yes.
