Veterans Day

Flags are given at military funerals…my mom received two: one for her father and one for my father which she in turn handed down to my brother and me.

As we observe Veterans Day today (actual date- November 11), I am grateful for our service men and women in all walks of the military and honor them today.

I did a quick search on the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day and this is what I learned from Wikipedia:

“Veterans Day is distinct from Memorial day…Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who died while in military service.”

  1. Valerie, thanks for sharing your thoughts on Veterans Day. It is an important day, important that we honor those who have sacraficed for our country. I am grateful for the service of your Dad and your grandfather. My father, too, was a veteran.

    God bless all service people, past and present!
