 From one vet to another I feel the same way and understand

 We all have our own reasons why we joined, but for most of us we did it because it was our honor to do so.

That hits the nail right on the head for Me.

It was My duty, honor and privilege to serve in the USMC.

Part of me want's absolutely no recognition for my service,

I feel awkward when someone says, " Thank you for your service."

I know. I appreciate it, but there's nothing to thank Me for.

Thanks for your service.

Through my anxiety, I'm grateful that one segment of the population is far more active and vocal with their support than has been heard in the last half century.

A clear target is a great comfort.

 I debated doing yesterdays gratitude for Veterans Day, but couldnt wrap my words right even once I found a quote that I liked that fed into it.

Just as you mentioned, every single service person, current or former, that I know is very uncomfortable with strangers shooting their hand out to shake their hands and act like they know them or what they do, did or their reasons for joining in the first place.

Still, it is impossible not to appreciate those who are or were willing to go and stand ready to do the things that most can or will not.
Sometimes I make a move, sorry to leave my home, but hope I will find another of equal character.
At night I gaze at the starry mass with no idea to which one the earth attached.
May'be that cute little one over there or that one that sits alone in the inky black.
