Speaking only for myself as a veteran - do whatever your heart, mind and conscience tell you to do. I didn't serve for the gratitude of my fellow countrymen. My son thanks me for my service, and that's more than enough gratitude for me.
I swore an oath to defend our Constitution and the rights it protects - and those rights, in particular the right to hold your own opinions and speak your mind, aren't contingent on you or anyone else agreeing with me.
All I would ask of anyone is please don't go out of your way to insult me regarding my service today.
