Thanks Fellow Veteran

          Instead of the bland, ubiquitous, cringe-inducing 'thank you for your service' - try asking a question.  And, because I think humorous questions are better than serious ones, try these:

• Was it an adventure or was it just a job?
• What was it like to be more than you could be?
• Was it fun doing more before 9 am than others do all day?
• Do people expect a you're welcome when they thank you for your service?
