Thank you for your service! Thank you for your sacrifices, for your valor, for the things you carry, for protecting us, and for defending our rights. Thank you to all our veterans for your courage, strength and dedication to keeping us safe.
"There is nothing nobler than risking your life for your country." "Over all our happy country over all our Nation spread, is a band of noble heroes–is our Army of the Dead." "What I can do for my country, I am willing to do." "A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself."
What to say to a veteran instead of thank you for your service?
While it is customary to offer a “thank you for your service” to veterans, if you're looking for an alternative, you could instead say: “Thank you for putting your life on hold to serve our country.” “Thank you for the sacrifices you made being away from your family.”
“Your service and sacrifices will never be forgotten. Your hard work and accomplishments will always bring us pride. A big thanks to Indian soldiers.” “When we think of heroes then we think of Indian soldiers who protect us and also inspire us with their dedication and commitment.”
It is a proud privilege to be a soldier – a good soldier … [with] discipline, self-respect, pride in his unit and his country, a high sense of duty and obligation to comrades and to his superiors, and a self confidence born of demonstrated ability. George S. Patton Jr.
No person was ever honored for what he received. ...
To honor with hymns and panegyrics those who are still alive is not safe; a man should run his course and make a fair ending, and then we will praise him; and let praise be given equally to women as well as men who have been distinguished in virtue.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it. The truth is that you always know the right thing to do. The tough part is doing it.
