The video at the link is heartwarming, but I don't want it to seem dismissive or diminutive."Supporting our troops" has to go beyond trite social metaphor and bumper stickers to actually SUPPORTING us post a conflict with either job retraining to a suitable civilian career field (if our military specialties didn't have a one-to-one match); psychological counseling for PTSD as well as the technology that grants mobility after a life-changing injury; some measure of human dignity.
A "country's gratitude" cliche will never be enough. A very good way to support the troops is to reduce the frequency of wars we're called to serve in; increase the assist when we get home.
