To the girl who I watched sweeping the floor of the fast food place, smiling even as she did a job I knew she probably didn't love, Thank you for your service.
To the guy at the register of the store where I ran in to buy a couple of things, Thank you for your service.

To those who keep civilization running in spite of the best efforts of government, Thank you for your service.
You make my life immeasurably better, and I am completely serious when I say Thank you for your service. No one else's "service" even comes close. Especially not those whose "service" only helps the bad guys gain and retain power. That's a "service" I would prefer to do without.
