Most of the people you’ve thanked for their service probably worked at a job that civilians do everyday like fixing things or doing paperwork. Just in a uniform.

My primary job was a logistics account, but that meant I had to inventory high value items at Forward Operating Bases in Iraq and Afghanistan and I drove in a few convoys, only once anything significant happened.
