I’m not a vet, but I’ve told quite a few that I appreciate their service. If it’s offensive to many vets, then I guess I’ll stop doing it.
No don’t consider not thanking the vets. Vets are not sensitive nor insulted by appreciation. They honor freedom of speech
Please don’t let this one veteran make you think all of us think that way. I certainly appreciate it every time someone thanks me for my service. I was drafted but ended up making the Air Force my career. I am proud to have served my country. Even as a retired veteran, I too have paid for many current active duty members when I see them in a restaurant or fast food establishment. I thank them for their current service and wish them well in their career. Thanks to both of you for your support of our military members, active and veterans.
I’ll never stop thanking vets for their service. If it’s offensive to a few, so be it. I don’t want to chance the opportunity to thank and appreciate those who’ve sacrificed so much, for my freedoms.
