A day to honor all the Veterans in the US. It was first set up after WWI to celebrate the Armistice that occurred on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The end of WWI
It is for all Veterans not just those who served in Wartime. WE need the services in peace time as well as war time. These folks still give up years of their lives in service to us.

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!

Being the great grand daughter of an Army officer, and the Grand daughter of a Navy officer, I believe that Veterans Day is a day to honor those men and women of past and present wars who have died for us, fought for us, and help us to remain FREE.

OIF 2003 is correct. I would like to add that it was originally called Armistice Day, honoring those who fought in WW-I. Our government decided that it should be a day to honor all those who served in the military and changed the name to Veterans Day.

It is to honor all those who have served in the military. Memorial Day is celebrated to honor all those who have lost their lives.

To remember heroes, those who have offered and those who gave their lives to America's freedom.
"The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive how the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation"

it's a day to honor and remember all who have served in our armed forces, especially those who have given their lives for our country. It's our duty to remember and thank them, after all, your alive and it could be because of them.
