I rarely if ever say, "Thank you for serving.", but rather, "Thank you for fighting." Occasionally I will hear back from someone who may not serve or have served in a combat role, "I didn't fight."
Well, it's all about the fight, or when not, about the projection of power and peace through strength. Whether supply, clerical, medical or whichever role, it is still about the fight and preparation and support of. In fact, many of these key elements end up in harm's way and make extreme sacrifices.
If you took the Oath, you joined the fight.
Happy Veteran's Day!
Enjoy yourselves.
