To be honest, it's embarassing to be thanked for my service. I'm inactive reserve right now and will be a Navy dentist when I go on active once I get DMD'ed. Hardly a frontline combat duty sorta thing.
i always think its awkward being thanked for my service PERIOD but thats just me
Thank you for your service. I understand where you guys are coming from,but those of us that served after Viet Nam and grew up with it, remember how our Vets were treated so we want to make sure you guys know that you are appreciated for what you do.![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")
I should also add, hubby and I went in early 80's it was not cool to be in the military what so ever. Things changed right after the Beirut bombings. So yeah, I know you guys feel awkward about it, but we do not want to see any service member treated the way our Viet Nam vets were treated. It is why so many of us go out of our way to let you guys know that most americans do appreciate what you are doing for our country. So from one vet to another just appreciate it.
Yeah I know your answer Alan, you were just doing your job, which is what most of us would also say.

CmbtEngineer, I went in in 1972, and am still in (VT Army Guard). Yes, it gets hard getting used to people thanking you and smiling. You'll manage.
You can always just say your were just doing your job, and you do it for freedom and liberty.

Thank you nh. And welcome to the forum.
And welcome to the forum.Thank you nh.
Thanks Lynne, but I got a lot more from the Marine Corps than they got from me!
All they got was a pretty good radar technician for 7 years.I came away with a sense of accomplishment and pride, an unlimited appreciation for integrity and discipline, and a real understanding of what leadership in its finest form looks like.
I still correspond with friends that I served with over 30 years ago, and I have a guaranteed "in" with all former Marines, no matter where I find them.
Thank you for your service and welcome.
