Memorial Day and Veterans Day, held respectively in May and November of each year, are federal holidays enacted to honor Armed Services members who have courageously defended our great nation. The familiar moniker “all gave some, some gave all” addressing military servicemen and women is a poignant statement that rings with truth.
Two days out of a year does not seem, in this author’s opinion, to be a respectable amount of time to revere these heroes. Thus, the Reagan Library Education Blog for month of June will be dedicated to United States veterans who served our country with distinction and valor.
