Memorial Day is for those who died in service of their country.

Veterans Day is for those who got out alive.

Armed Forces Day is for those still serving.

Yes, it would be Veterans Day, but I do not think a generic salutation is worthy of rebuke, especially when it does not mean anything negative. I have a good buddy who went to Germany and not Vietnam, so I am “Happy” I get to hug him on Veterans day instead of remembering him today.
