Thanks. However, this 'holiday' is not Veterans Day, but rather the Memorial

Country.

Veterans Day is November 11.

For a Nation 'at-War' Service goes beyond just
those who Served in Uniform {Our Veterans}.
Americas who were in the US Merchant Marine
and 'other' non-uniform services : Who Gave
Their Lives "In-Service" To Our Country.

-simply- Remember All Those Who Gave Their Lives
Protecting Our Freedoms.
God Bless Them One and All - amen ~ RHF

Home as Living Testaments to Those Who Did Not.
