I think you have this day confused with Memorial Day. Don't worry, the President confused Memorial Day with Veterans day when he started pointing out survivors in the crowd


Happy Veterans day To all who Serve & Served

This was not meant to be provocative in any way. Originally Armistice Day and meant to commemorate the war to end all wars. 11/11 at the 11th hour. According to my grandfather it was a very happy day. He served from 1916-46.

Best wishes.

No harm done, it just struck a nerve. Imho, I think 'happy' was a poor word choice. Your Veteran's Day thanks all those who have served in peacetime and during war. That said, I would also like to thank your forces personnel being that we are allied forces. Btw, I'm a veteran who served my country for 20 years.
