A veteran is a person who has served but is no longer on active duty in the military. There is no such thing as a former veteran. A veteran cannot be currently serving in peacetime or war.

It is difficult to determine an exact number as it varies by country and time period. However, in the United States, there are approximately 3.5 million veterans who served during peacetime. This includes veterans who served between conflicts and never saw combat.

Is Veterans' Day an important US holiday?
yes It is not a Federal holiday. Many businesses will operate as usual, and not acknowledge it at all. As a Veteran, I feel that the day does not do what it was intended, to honor those Veterans who served their country during times of peace and war. The country as a whole seems to ignore it, while Veterans try to acknowledge each other.
