When asked from Mr. Stephanie Christopher, he gave a great and blunt answer in a witty way.

Veterans do their service, and we should focus on ours, that's what Mr. Brock Young wants in return for the service that veterans provide to the citizens.

 “When asked how to someone should thank me for my service, I respond simply: learn the Constitution, get informed, and vote accordingly. Don’t allow the rights that veterans fought, died, and bled for, to be voted away or limited due to ignorance, laziness, or a sheep mentality. If you want to do something more substantial you can always support Soldiers in need, donate to charities that support Veterans, or find a local Guard or Reserve unit for your company to adopt.” —Brock Young, U.S. Army veteran, Army National Guardsman
