If us military veterans didn't do our job, you wouldn't have the freedom of
choice of which mall or store to go to and of what to buy whenever you want. One would have a lot of restrictions.
The main language would not be English. So make
the time to thank a veteran, he and she is a reason you're free and independent. Be thankful and give them a job in the entertainment industry. They have transferable skills. A lot more capable than some of the knuckleheads I've met who've never served.
