    But really. Their hearts are in the right place. I just don't like that much attention. Not sure if the others feel that way.
    I've always found it embarrassing, mainly because my service was never in anyway as stressful or dangerous as others'. I'm proud of what I've done fo the country, just have never felt it deserved special recognition like that.

    Ditto that. I knew what I was doing when I signed up. I got my paycheck and other benefits that I earned. Makes me feel funny, too, when people say that. Not that I don't appreciate it, it just wasn't anything special compared to most others...especially in the last 17 years or so.

    Besides...I get "special recognition" every time I can't move because of my back.

    That's how I feel about my college experience.
