To the Editor:
Veterans Day is Saturday, Nov. 11, 2017; it is a legal holiday in the United States honoring all veterans of the armed forces. Veterans are men and women who have served or are serving in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard or Air Force.
Veterans Day is intended to thank and honor all those who served honorably in the military — in war time or in peace time. In fact, Veterans Day is largely intended to thank living veterans for all they have done for us and our country, and to remember and honor veterans who have died in the service of their country. On Saturday, Nov. 11, (or any day) take a moment and thank a vet.
