May 16th was Armed Forces Day. Armed Forces Day is the day set aside to recognize all members of our U.S. military.
Veterans Day will be observed on November 11th. Veterans Day is the day set aside every year to recognize all veterans of our US armed services.
Memorial Day, tomorrow, this year May 25th, is set aside to recognize all those who made the ultimate sacrifice, giving their lives for their country on a field of battle.
This has been a public service announcement. So while your "Thank you for your service" and the like is appreciated and thoughtful, please understand that as a veteran, tomorrow ISN'T my day. So on Memorial Day, please remember all the brave men and women who went into harm's way to protect and defend us, and who perished for that noble cause, so that all of us might enjoy freedom and liberty.
