Back in 1992, and occasionally since, when someone told me thank you I did feel awkeward. Back then we had much more open support than our guys do today. I allways wanted to respond but didn't really know what to say. It was allways like "Uhhh,, well, I was just doing as I was supposed to", it was weird.
Troops tend to be very humble, but I can tell you this, It really does make a difference. I feel more openly proud of serving, and it makes me feel very proud of our guys now. And considering the change of attitude as far as support for 'the cause' in the first place, the general feeling tricles down to our troops. So tell them thanks when you can. If you get a mixed or confused or seemingly embarrased response, it's just the humbleness you are seeing. He or She will appreciate it. I promise. I know.
