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.

Didn’t do it for your thanks, I did it so others wouldn’t have too.

I get this appreciation several times a week. And never know what to say. So I say “Thank You for your appreciation for all the kids still out there serving, to protect our beloved nation and way of life”

My response is usually something like: "Thank you; it was my pleasure."
