The blog that I'm writing about uses the rhetorical question "It may seem awkward to walk up to a soldier and shake their hand, but don't you think it's the least you can do?" to call people into action and feel bad for not taking the initiative to thank soldiers for their services.
Another tool the writer uses is imagery; "An old man, aged by experience and time, carefully removes a crisp blue suit from its faded garment bag. Despite their long years together, this suit appears new, cherished and protected, saved for special occasions." The description of these actions put the reader in the veterans shoes.
Oh, and you've all probably seen this video before, but it still cracks me up. So watch it. And enjoy it. Kay?
I really like the imagery paragraph. It is such good writing!
