I was asked the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day holidays. Memorial Day is to remember those who perished, giving their lives as soldiers in order for the rest of us to enjoy our freedoms and liberties. Veterans Day is a day to remember and appreciate all people who serve or have served in the military, a day to honor all military veterans of any war.
Last night I saw the New York Rangers had honored a veteran who had returned from war but needed prosthetic legs. It was very moving to see this man and his family wave to the crowd and walk naturally. It's easy to forget what our veterans go through and the dangers they potentially face while sparing those of us who did not have the honor and privilege of service. I think that Veterans Day is one of the most important holidays we have and that we must remember that we also must take care of our veterans.
