    What if you are not from the US?
    How about serving OTHER countries?
    Like Iraq?

    An Act (52 Stat. 351; 5 U. S. Code, Sec. 87a) approved May 13, 1938, made the 11th of November in each year a legal holiday—a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated and known as "Armistice Day." Armistice Day was primarily a day set aside to honor veterans of World War I, but in 1954, after World War II had required the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen in the Nation’s history; after American forces had fought aggression in Korea, the 83rd Congress, at the urging of the veterans service organizations, amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting in its place the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation (Public Law 380) on June 1, 1954, November 11th became a day to honor American veterans of all wars.

    My dad is a Vietnam veteran...shot down over N Vietnam, then served in the National Guard. Several family friends were also in Vietnam.

    My mom had 4 boyfriends who were killed in action in Vietnam, so she thinks on them on Veterans Day.

    My grandfather was in a sub briefly in WWII.

Sorry, not just one name, but the military is/was both my husband's and my life and we live in an Air Force town, where we retired. My best friend and her husband are still active duty today. I love our military.
