When we say "thank you for your service." to someone in uniform, or whom we know is a veteran, it is almost certain we have no clue what is is we are thanking them for. And if we did, we would recognize 'thank you' doesn't come close to being the right words, or a deep enough expression of gratitude, or a true understanding of what they have endured and sacrificed of themselves and of the burdens they carry.
