It's Marine, not soldier

I'd like to start off by saying I respect those who join the Military for the right reasons. For those who really want to defend the ones they love and believe in freedom.
Too often, kids join today because they want excitement or to carry a gun. Hopefully they get the discipline they need in training.
Now as for all the "Soldier" talk, let's take a look at the dictionary:
soldier/ Show Spelled[sohl-jer]
noun

a person who serves in an army; a person engaged in military service.
an enlisted man or woman, as distinguished from a commissioned officer: the soldiers' mess and the officers' mess.
a person of military skill or experience: George Washington was a great soldier.
a person who contends or serves in any cause: a soldier of the Lord.
I know that there is a distinct difference for enlisted men and women, but in general speak, a soldier is someone who is enlisted in any branch of the military. An army is different from THE Army.
army
1.the military forces of a nation, exclusive of the navy and in some countries the air force.
2.(in large military land forces) a unit consisting typically of two or more corps and a headquarters.
3.a large body of persons trained and armed for war.
I intend no disrespect, simply pointing out that a civilian reffering to any person in the military as a soldier means no disrespect either.
When it comes down to it, you all offer the same great service to our country. Defense.

So, if I were to address a servicemand or woman, what should address them as? because I have no idea how to tell one person from the other. I would appreciate the input.
