So for a long time I did not know what to say when someone said this to me. But finally I have the best thing to say that makes complete sense...
With a smile I say, "Thank YOU for paying your taxes"
Its comical and they always laugh, but also very true at the same time. I am a people person and this has opened so many door of opportunity for me. Feel free to use it and post your comments on what you normally say.

No matter how I am feeling at the time, I immediately light up, shake their hand and say thank you for your support. If I have a free second, I will talk to them for a bit. I do this because of one event. When I was returning from R&R going back to Iraq, the entire group was leaving Atlanta Airport. I heard a message across the speaker system say that this group is going back to Iraq. The entire airport stopped and all I could hear were claps and whistles. I have never been so taken aback by the support from our country.

If approached with that, I just do the "aw shucks, just dong my job sir/maam'". It's nice to be acknowledged, but the real heroes, IMHO, are those didn't come back or left some pieces behind. THOSE are the people to whom this country owes an immense debt of gratitude.
