Doesn't have to be military. It could be service to the Peace Corps, it could be picking up trash from the side of a road, it could be building parks and playgrounds... anything in service to the country, to us all.

But I didn't do any of that, so my thanks is my only recompense. I suppose this means thanks is not enough and I should go out and do some of that. But I'm tired.

The culture is in a self-flagellating mood. You may want to hang onto the thanks for when this is over and people believe in something worth defending again.
