Thank you for your service to our country and join the rest of the nation on Veterans Day in remembering the sacrifices of America's 25 million veterans and expressing our appreciation for your service.
The difference between Veterans Day and Memorial Day...
Memorial Day honors servicemembers who died in service to their country or as a result of injuries incurred during battle. Deceased veterans are also remembered on Veterans Day but the day is set aside to thank and honor living veterans who served honorably in the military - in wartime or peacetime.

Personally, I served aboard the USS Simon Lake (Submarine Tender) out of Kings Bay, Georgia (Trident Submarine Base) in the early 1980's. The experience had a major impact on my life at the time and seems just like yesterday.
