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 answer ' Proud to serve - didn't know when to quit!'. I served 38 yrs between active & reserve.

The response to Thank You is ALWAYS Your Welcome. Not yup, uh huh, no problem, etc. You can then say it was my pleasure.

Considering I did 6 years in the peacetime reserves, I really don’t know how to respond. I usually just say, “You’re welcome.”

But at one time in my life, I wrote Uncle Sam a blank check. I can’t control how he cashes it.
