Jerk? You are. Veterans are veterans—some lived and some died. We should celebrate all veterans and through that celebration encourage citizens to join the service, not to necessarily die but to serve. Don’t disrespect veterans just because they didn’t die or didn’t serve in combat roles or whatever excuse you might want to state to diss a veteran.

This is Memorial Day. To remember those who died during their service.

Veterans Day is to remember those who served and are still alive or dead.

Decoration Day

Originally set to clean up, maintain. and decorate the graves of those killed in service, as a special remembrance and thanks.

It’s NOT Veterans Day.
Don’t mix the two.

That’s what Veteran’s Day is for: the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Memorial Day stands alone.

Memorial Day was created for and is for honoring those who gave all on the battlefield and ONLY them. Keep your mouth shut punk

Well, actually that is what Veteran's Day is for, to honor those who served their nation in battle.

Memorial Day is to pay our respects for those who gave their lives in defense of their nation.

So, perhaps you should apologize to Az Joe?

Living Veterans have their own day. Memorial Day is for those who aren’t living.

I am a 22-year USAF retiree. We don’t have memorial services for the living.

Today, I honor those heroes who gave ALL. Unlike me.
