Veterans Day History
http://www.history.com/content/veterans … terans-day
GOD BLESS OUR VETERANS We owe a debt of gratitude each day throughout the year,
To Veterans who risked their lives to keep us free from fear.
They bravely faced the enemy, and fought with courage true.
So we should not forget -- but give them honor that is due.
Yes, many are disabled, and they face a lonely life,
But we can help to ease their pain, and rid their hearts of strife,
By writing notes, and sending gifts, so they will know we care,
And telling them that we will be remembering them in prayer.
We love our flag that flies o’er our sweet land of liberty,
And also love the veterans who fought to keep us free.
And so we pray the Lord will bless each Veteran today,
And let them know within our thankful hearts they’ll always stay.

The one particular message here it this:
Veterans Day is not to be confused with Memorial Day--a common misunderstanding, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Memorial Day (the fourth Monday in May) honors American servicemembers who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle, while Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans--living or dead--but especially gives thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

It's only a misunderstanding for certain people...like President Obama, who on Memorial Day honored our fallen, including some of those in the audience! Sheesh!
