Say Thanks

by on December 13, 2007 in Supporting the Troops

No joke, as a soldier who has walked through an airport, this makes a difference, and soldiers remember each time someone thanks them.

    It does indeed make a difference. I’ve had bar tabs paid for, and meals as well, by anonymous strangers, but nothing beats a simple thank-you.

    Never got one when I was in California, but I’ve had plenty out here. You’re right, you remember every one.

    I’m finally getting used to receiving the thanks from random people I run into when I’m in uniform. Usually I just return their thanks.

    I have to admit that I often feel like I should be throwing myself on the floor and like Wayne & Garth from Wayne’s World, saalaming while crying, “I’m not worthy, I’m not worthy, I suck!”

    Because when it comes right down to it… I’ve served, but I’ve never done anything aside climbing aboard a variety of C5′s that could be considered life-risking. REMF really does define the MOS’s I’ve held.

    They thank me for what I do, and I thank them for the support. Heard too many tales when there wasn’t support. Makes me appreciative.

    Regards,

    Jake ’88

    I served on a destroyer in the mid 80′s, and it was not uncommon to be looked at differently than others in the community (sailors and dogs keep off the grass). The only place where we were recommended to wear a uniform was in Australia, anywhere else we were a target, even in CONUS. I’m glad our military is getting the appreciation it deserves. We were not thanked for our service, but I thank all of you for yours.
