So for a long time I did not know what to say when someone said this to me. But finally I have the best thing to say that makes complete sense...

With a smile I say, "Thank YOU for paying your taxes"

Its comical and they always laugh, but also very true at the same time. I am a people person and this has opened so many door of opportunity for me. Feel free to use it and post your comments on what you normally say.

It always takes me by surprise when someone says it since it was not routinely (or ever) said while I served or for years after I left the service (1981-1985). I usually say you're welcome, it was my pleasure and leave it at that.

I feel uncfortable when they do thank me, as that's not why I serve. But I always answer with, "It's an honor sir / ma'am."
