I think more people appreciate it than you think. One problem now is that the military is really picky on who they take. I read that 90-95% of people who attempt to join the military get rejected, I myself was rejected due to my asthma. I have a friend who was rejected from the navy because of a dui(and other stuff on his criminal record, nothing serious tho), which we're still confused about how he got it since he wasn't the one driving. He's going to try to clear some stuff off his record and get in, but the only way I'd be able to get in is by lying about my asthma. And, according to all the marines I've talked to it would probably only take them a couple weeks to find out that I have it. But I can't say I blame them, they want the best of the best and I guess ya gotta be picky to get it.
I've got quite a few friends that have been over in Iraq, and thankfully all of them have made it home so far. So, these people fighting for us aren't just some people who I think are brave, some of them are really good friends, practically brothers to me, and others are family(my cousin is in Iraq now for the next year).
So, when I say I appreciate it, just know I really mean it. This country would be nothing without you guys.
