Do veterans get medals on veterans day?

Answer 1

No, Veteran's Day is a day the government chose to honor veteran's. On Veteran's Day the point isn't just to get off work or school it is also to take time out of your day to honor and remember all those who have made sacrifices to ensure your freedom. Some of those sacrifices include dying, losing limbs, becoming paralyzed, becoming mentally ill (PTSD, Depression), and physical injuries that can haunt a vet for life... If you know a vet they DEEPLY appreciate you just saying a simple thank you for your service. Afterall you wouldn't be free without them and what they were willing to give to this great country. My favorite quote is "If you can read this thank a teacher BUT because it is english? Thank a soldier!"
