HW3 is right in saying Memorial day in the States belongs to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives for their country . However, It's really hard not to pay tribute to those who have answered the call and although not lost their lives, a great many returned permanently injured. And then also honor those that served and thankfully returned home in one piece.
I know HW3 and others, including veterans, will understand and appreciate if those veterans are not only honored on Memorial Day but also on Veterans Day as well even though the day belongs to those who have fallen. Better to remember them and their sacrifices than not at all. Having said that, a big salute to our veterans here in the forum
