Someone who has served in the military.
I appreciate our veterans very much. My father and grandfather both served in wars.
However, this doesn't "need to come from the heart" as, again, a veteran is simply someone who has served in the military.
SHE is right. One needn't have served during wartime to be a veteran. That person would be called a "war veteran."

A female or Male that serves our country in the military during war time or peace time to keep the peace and our country free.
I was a veteran Female and a WAC and proud of it . My son came home one day crying he was 6 years old stating some kid said your mom wears Army boots I said why are you crying its true. You should be proud. I said .You never have to worry Your momma can always take care of you. Most Momma's can't say that. I could deal with anything because of being in the military

I believe a veteran is someone who has pride & love of country, who left their loved ones behind & put their lives on hold to go & fight for the freedom & safety of their country or those who are oppressed in another country. I believe a veteran is not only those who have risked their lives on the front lines, but those who joined knowing that they may be sent away at any moment & still have the integrity & pride to want to protect the freedoms & safety that many before them have died to get & keep. Those who KNOW that freedom is NOT free!!! Those who knowingly put their lives on the line for ALL OF US, asking nothing in return but DESERVING our THANKS & GRATITUDE for their sacrifices.......
I for one will be ETERNILY GRATEFUL to the MANY who have sacrificed EVERYTHING for me & my family. I am Thankful to the mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, brothers, sisters & children who have made great sacrifices for me & my family as well....

i think a veteran is someone who is a hero someone who cares enough for people to put his/her life on the line for their country and for people they dont know someone that we should respect and feel honour to be around after all without them where would we be when i watch films like the rambos ( i know it was just a film) but the way they treated them after they had been to war disgusted me how could you but they really did treat them like that and people today do thats what i think anyway my opinon
