When Captain Miller told Ryan to "earn this," he meant that Ryan (having possibly been saved from death by the actions of the platoon) had a duty to live his life in an upright, moral, and meaningful way.

Ryan is not certain that he has done so, but it is suggested very strongly that he has, out of respect for the bravery and sacrifice of the men whose mission was to bring him home.
