Nothing wrong with thanking a veteran as well. In some cases they may have come *this* close to giving the ultimate sacrifice. Just keep it a bit more on the solemn side and focus on their own fallen fellow service members.
PTSD and other trauma can be a slow miserable death. Ask any homeless Vet, buy them a decent meal, and offer them the dignity of listening to their story, recognize their sacrifice, and offer gratitude.
BTW- many don’t know the Vet Admin medical and disability has changed dramatically for PTSD and traumatic brain injury support.
Just sharing that could give someone back their life.
