Does it bother you to hear "Thank you for your service!"?

I think it is an honor to be recognize and I thank them back. I especially go out of my way to thank a Vietnam Vet for their service for which they did not receive a correct welcome when they came back. I had the honor couple years ago when flying to Alaska that I sat next to a WWII veteran and was in awe when he told me his stories that he had during the war. He and his wife (he was in his 90's) was celebrating their 60th anniversary and doing the trip (boat cruise, train ride). They were from Florida.

No. It doesn't bother me. I'm very humble, but when I see my sons thank those who are serving now and stop and thank them, I'm proud that they recognize those that keep them safe. "YO,JOE!" REALLY? When ANYONE thanks you for your service, in my opinion, they mean it sincerely..
NUMEROUS Vets came back with no thanks (I'm not one of them) - but there are numerous VETS who served and NEVER got a THANK YOU - those vets (again, not me) kept those that kept us all safe until I became a Vet (again - I state I wasn't in a war zone), but why would that bother you?

No it doesn't bother me. It would be rude to belittle or minimize their acknowledgement. I usually respond with "thank you for your support ".

Yes it does! I'm a Vietnam vet and the grateful people of this country spit at me and called me a baby killer when I came home from that war. I was scorned, could not get a job because I was a Vietnam veteran! they would say oh, your a Vietnam vet? We don't want you kind around here! Thank you for your service is a little to little much to late!

What bothers me most is that Soldier's beret in the picture.

I know you said stand down. But I figured this would be helpful, now as well as later when I hang up the uniform. When I hear a person say "Thank you for your service." I realize it's not mandatory for a person to say that to a person in uniform simply because I service, nor simply because it's politically correct, to support the troops, but because they appreciate a person defending their freedom and rights by fighting to keep it. It's truly an honor and a dream for me. The only job that I wake up loving to do and passionate about. It has been truly a humbling experience. I strive to remain humble because I know I am not alone in this thought process. I am simply one of the hundreds of thousands currently servicing, along with the many others who have the esteemed title of veteran. I say thank you, and always will thank a person who supports what I do, and whom I do it for.

No

I get tired of hearing it because most of the time it sounds like an after thought or not sincere. I hear more around certain holidays. I just usually nod or keep going very rarely will I say you are welcome or thanks.

And it's good to learn more.. Thank you all, also I'm sadly telling myself this everytime y'all holler back, it says it plain and pure in the notification box by your titles, man love you all like brothers and little sisters

It use to embarrass me a little, but I always smiled and said thank you it was an honor to serve.
