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 you have been hard of hearing since age 7, why are people thanking you for your service. I am guessing you never served!

I take on a snotty tone and say "I didn't do it for YOU."
The looks of shock are amazing. I highly suggest it.
(I do tell them I'm kidding after, but it's honestly so trite at this point that it rubs me the wrong way when someone says it.)
