Does it mean you are currently in the military or were or does it mean both?

A veteran is a person that has served in the military, you
do not have to have been in a war. As an example anyone
that is in the service but has not been to Iraq is still a
veteran but normally would be an Iraq era veteran, those
that served in Iraq are Iraq War veteran.

A veteran means you were in the military and you served your term then you are "legaly" a veteran or if you were KIA you were a veteran...you cant (offisually) be one while in the military... but if you did something to get kicked out of the military "a dishonorable discharge" then you wouldint be a veteran atleast an honored veteran

Honoring our military in all branches who have served so we can enjoy the freedom we have. Without them doing this, I could not live my life as I choose. Veterans I salute you not only on Veterans Day, but every day. Thanks so much!

It means you showed up for at least 180 days. Less if injured on duty.
Could be in the past or present.
Could have been in combat or not.

Both.
It also means that you have paid your dues, and have earned the respect of others. In spades!
