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.

You're welcome and thank you for your support. It was both an honor and privilege to serve you and our great nation.

I tell people Thank you, but if anybody that should be thanking me for my service should be the MIC and those bastards that are making trillions in profit from of War .

I just simply respond with "thank you." I get "thank you for your service" at least once a week; even 3X in a day depending on where I am. That's probably because my favorite baseball cap(s) to wear every day are those gifted to me that note Vietnam Veteran. I am not looking for praise but simply PROUD of being a veteran and having served 3 tours of duty in Vietnam. As a proud member of our local American Legion, we have donated several "Wall of Honor" to retirement homes. These walls honor those veterans residing there. There photos are placed on the wall which is our way to tell them "thank you for your service."
