    Coin related thread in that without our servicemen and women there would be no US coins to collect.

    Hey all you ground pounders, jarheads, flyboys, six foot sailors and swabbies.... Thanks for your service.... Cheers, RickO

    @coinlieutenant once told me that I might call him a "squid", but he himself would not address an admiral thusly :)
    He currently has 31 paper-clips left on his short-timers' chain, so he likely refrained.
    His wife Cathy also served.

    I have one generalized "thank you" and an uncountable number of ratings of "outstanding",

    Always appreciated, so first off, thank you to the OP.

    Second, the military community writ large receives these recognitions warmly.

    I personally find them a bit embarrassing as it feels like people thank me so much. I always think "you pay me pretty well to do this you know...." May just be because my career has been much easier than the standard. I feel the Navy has given me more than I have given it. Looking back on the last 24 years, as I retire for good next month, it has been an amazing and rewarding ride.

    Thanks again.
