I'd like to point out that Veterans Day is actually not necessarily to honor those still serving, but to honor those who have served our country and have separated in good standing. Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations defines a veteran as 鈥渁 person who served in the active military, naval, or air service and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable.鈥 There is a separate holiday for honoring those that are still serving, Armed Forces Day. Armed Forces Day is observed on the third Saturday of the month of May and was created to recognize and thank those who are currently serving in all branches of our armed forces.
