Soon-to-be West Point candidate here, I have nothing but relentless respect for our armed forces and I don't know where it stems from (immigrant non-military family, pretentious liberal upper-class town) but I always feel a need and desire to show my appreciation for veterans and current servicemen and women. My question is, what can I do that will help in a simple way, or to show my appreciation without making you guys uneasy? I understand most veterans find it uncomfortable when they get a "thank you for your service" or something, but I still would really like to be able to extend a man in uniform some respect.
