You are a bit touchy, aren’t you?
Geez, just accept the compliment, and go on.
I didn’t serve in the military, but I wish I had.
And I’m grateful for those of you who did.
And BTW, thank you for your service.
If you mean it, then thanks for your support.
Point of thread was to highlight the mundane way a lot of people go about it, they don’t mean it and they probably don’t even remember saying it.
The most important part of the thread is the tribute to the families. THEY are just as deserving, agree?
