Veterans Day is traditionally for those who served and are still alive. Memorial Day is for those who have gone on to meet their maker.
Four tenth of one percent (0.4%) of Americans are veterans. A stunning number when you think of it.
God bless my extended family, my brothers and sisters who have served! May you have a wonderful day and a blessed life!
