How Do You Thank A Veteran?

How do you express your thanks to somebody who served our nation?  Is it as easy as saying "Thank You?"

Whenever I have an opportunity to thank somebody for their service, I always try to.  But just saying "thank you" hardly seems like enough.  I love the stories of people giving up their seats in first class to veterans on airplanes.  Or the stories about buying meals for veterans in restaurants.  Unfortunately, I don't ever fly first class.  And the last time I tried to buy lunch for a table of veterans, the waitress said that I was the fifth person there who offered so I missed that opportunity.  (Which was actually pretty cool to hear!)

And to those of you who serve and have served, if I haven't said it enough today, THANK YOU.
