What Is The Difference Between Veterans Day And Memorial Day?
Many people confuse Memorial Day and Veterans Day. On Memorial Day, the U.S. remembers and honors soldiers who died for their country. Veterans Day is to thank everyone who served in the military — in wartime or peacetime. In fact, Veterans Day is mainly intended to show appreciation to living veterans for their service. It also emphasizes that all soldiers have done their duty to the country.
