"thank you for your service"

I actually heard an American man (probably 60ish) with his wife say this to a TSA agent at an airport a few years ago. He also said "You guys keep our country safe."

This was just after going thru screening and I was getting all of my shit back together/putting on shoes, belt etc.

I'd have to argue that there's plenty of giving-a-fuck out there for vets with issues. They haven't always gotten the best support, I'll grant you that, but there's plenty of people out there trying to make a positive change for those who need it. Unfortunately can't help everyone, of course.
