USAF veteran. I can appreciate it when people thank me for my service, but my service wasn't anything spectacular. One thing most people don't appreciate about veterans though, is the fact that many/most of us have lost friends in combat or accidents. I stopped counting when 10 people I knew had been killed in accidents. Losing friends is one of the most difficult parts of serving. When you thank people for their service, it's probably a good idea to express condolences for any friends that they've lost too.
