I always do when someone pulls the "thank you for your service" line. I got to have a good paying career, got to fly airplanes and do stuff that I'd dreamed of since I was a kid, my family was well taken care of, got great training, cool travel, made the best friends that I'll ever have, etc...... I didn't do it out of some grand sacrifice and/or sense of duty. I did it because I loved it. And you helped to fund it. So thank you.
