The purposes of Veterans Day and Memorial Day are often confused. Memorial Day honors military personnel who died in service to their country.
Veterans Day thanks all men and women who have served honorably in the military during times of war and peace. To these brave men and women, we offer the following tribute:
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.”
— John Fitzgerald Kennedy
“Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.”
— Dwight D. Eisenhow
