I've never asked this question, and I've never seen anyone else ask it, but I'm curious. What do you say when someone thanks you for your service?
My Military ID is right next to my driver's license and debit card in my wallet, so it's visible if I have to show my driver's license for something or if I'm taking my debit card out to use. Very often, someone who sees it will ask what branch I was in. Then they will thank me for my service. My usual answer is "Thank you for your support." But I'm curious about how others respond to that.

I get embarrassed because I didn’t do it for the thanks. in a brief conversation, in response to a “thank you for your service” I told the young lass, I never know how to respond to that. She offered up the suggestion “thank you for your support“… And that’s what I now say.

I put the light back on them with respect by saying "We Thank you for your Support".

I say I would do it all again. I responded that way to some folks over the Veterans Day weekend and they told me that was the best response they had heard.
