Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day; Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving, while Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.

While it’s nice to be appreciated, please don’t confuse today with Veteran’s Day on November 11th…

@pamelatomerlin @dwardio thank you for saying something to help clarify.
My hope with this thread was to recognize and show respect. That was actually why I made a separate post from my start of summer post. Since I realize this weekend is not a celebration for all.
I now have a better way to express it. I appreciate your filling in the gap.

All who are free have paid the cost of freedom. Our brothers and sisters in Ukraine are paying the bill as I write this.

@Thumper369 I do hope that you didn’t feel pounced upon. It is just a sticking point with living veterans.
