To many around this world, today is just another Thursday - one day closer to the weekend. To others, it's just November 11 - the day after November 10 and day before November 12.
In the United States of America, this is Veteran's Day. This is a day where we honor our veterans, both past and present, who have served our great country.
Not surprisingly, many confuse Veteran's Day with Memorial Day, which occurs in late May. That day is set aside to remember those who have died in battle or as a result of injuries sustained in battle.
Most people do not know someone who has died in battle. However, most people do know a veteran. That's why this day is very special and a great opportunity to thank someone you know for serving.
Finally, we thought you'd like to see a recent definition we found online of what a veteran is. Please copy and paste and send it along to your friends. Thanks to all our veterans and their families for their service! Happy Veterans Day!
VETERAN - A veteran is someone, who at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for an amount up to, and including, their life. That is beyond honorable.
