I got that chart from THIS SITE!
Now, I’m sure I’ll have angry people in the comments. Some may say that you can thank a veteran any day of the week, which is true. Others may point out that I never joined the military, so my opinion doesn’t matter. Well, that’s your opinion and it kind of ignores the whole ‘fight for Americans’ rights’ and that includes the freedom of speech. I’ll decide on if I’ll respond or remove.
It really did confuse me when I was in college that people treated Veterans Day and Memorial Day like they’re the same holiday. Once both were explained to me, I couldn’t figure out why people just lumped them together. Then, I learned about Armed Forces Day a few years back and that one doesn’t get any attention. You don’t even get off from work on that, so I guess it isn’t a national holiday. Feels like this country simply grabs every opportunity to celebrate the military, which is kind of strange. Each group is unique and should get their own recognition. That’s my opinion anyway.
So, happy Veteran’s Day to everyone who served and got to retire.

My dad and uncles served in the Army. My dad was in the Army Corps of Engineers. They built a lot of bridges! My younger brother’s friend retired from the Air Force at the age of 40 to practice law.

Cool. My dad was navy. My son and I went to check out his name on a veteran wall in the park.

A cool chart that explained a lot! My son is a veteran so I’m glad we don’t have to celebrate Memorial Day thinking of him!
