A most gracious and fine Veterans Day to all of you Veterans out there. A day of remembrance for all of us of our brothers and Sisters who paid the greatest price for our country. "For those who served, the price of freedom has a taste the other's will never Know.
May God Bless you all of you and have a great day.

A bit of clarification:

Veterans Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed annually on November 11, for honoring military veterans, that is, persons who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering and honoring the military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

I volunteer at the best place to help vets get the benefits they deserve. It’s called the “Dale Graham Veterans Foundation” in Norman OK. We support vets from 47 states and 5 countries. Last year we helped just over 1,000 vets get to 100%, and this year we are well over that. It is by far the best organization for helping vets. They are only open on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s (5:30-11am) but if you get there after 6am you’ll probably get turned away. I get there at 5am and there’s usually 60-80 vets waiting to go in, if you’re one of the first ten people...you spent the night in line! If you’re a vet, Google the foundation. It’s all free!!!
