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 used to say thanks with a smile, but now, since my larygectomy last September, I give a thumbs up and smile :)

I usually say, "Thank you. It was an honor and a privilege. You were worth it." The last part usually brings a smile to the person’s face.

I always say, "no need to thank me. I got paid". Although I do appreciate the Veteran's Parking Spaces at Harris-Teeter grocery stores.
