Their service to the country. It’s not a great deal to put your life on the line for an average paycheck. Public service is still viewed as service, even if of military.
This doesn’t apply when you are forced because you didn’t choose to do it.

For me its just how we were raised, my dad did, my grandpa did, his grandpa did. It’s more like blessing someone after they sneeze more than anything. However if its in older person I do make sure to be more sincere when thanking them, just out if respect
