In the US, we have set aside 2 days to honor those who gave service in the military. The last Monday in May - Memorial Day, where we honor those who died in battle, and November 11 - Veterans Day. There are parades in large cities, and remembrance services in smaller cities, but with the commercialization of the US, particularly Memorial Day being a "Monday holiday" rather than a set date, just gives a 3-day weekend to most of the citizens, and a chance for stores to do Memorial Day sales. It is also widely recognized as the beginning of the summer season in the US.

In the US we hate our heroes and servicemembers. We constantly undermine their efforts while we lie about our own motives and agendas. Also, servicemembers are considered stupid and the bottom rung of society, a group of people who can't do anything right.
