Hey! I'm a veteran. A poor excuse for one, but still a veteran. Does that mean I can prop my feet up, kick back, and drink a bottle of beer today, on Ye OldeArmistice Day? I don't know if it means that, but that is what I am gonna do. My thoughts will be of other veterans, better than me.
Every hour of your service helped in its own way. It's the accumulation of the billions of hours from millions of people that have kept us safe. That have kept us free.

Me too, in fact, I am probably even a poorer excuse for one than you...
6 months in the Guard keeping our coasts safe. I spent half a year as a swab at that U.S. Coast Guard Academy. Got two ribbons. And an honorable discharge courtesy of Calculus.
But my respects to all my seniors and juniors who've stood in the face of enemy lead to keep me and my family safe.
AH, not only a Veteran, but one that has the courage needed to stand up and be counted, to know the cost and ready to show the colors and the thanks of the grateful nation, the other part isn't worth worrying over. You are just perfect.
To be confident and competent enough with a rifle to be able to hit anything I can see in a Jovian Thunderbolt kind of way.
To be able to defend myself with a handgun.
To perhaps harvest some tasty venison with either a rifle or a shotgun, any skin or antler is just a nice bonus, here.
And, if necessary: To Defend the Ramparts of Democracy from a Level 4 Zombie Outbreak or against the Jacobin, Rampaging, Godless, Red-Commie Hordes (or their modern equivalent.)
"You never select a shotgun as your primary anti-zombie firearm. It's great for onesy twosey, but zombies travel in hordes. The reload time is onerous, and the ammo, while effective, is heavy and bulky and short ranged."

Bolt,
Thanks for remembering and from one vet to another, thanks for your service sir.
You served. With honor and pride I'd bet. And you came way intact with some courage and some more experience.
You earned the day, and the cold one.
