Good question and one that many vets struggle with themselves. The best way I heard it put is Veteran's day is a day to celebrate both peacetime and wartime vets-- those who "stood watch" and those who 'stood firm." Both those who volunteered and those who were volunteered went where they were told and did what they were told. Not one peacetime vet would trade this nations 15 year long stretch of peace for a war time medal on their DD214 just so they can get a thank you from those who think their service isn't as deserving. However, all vets hope the goal is fighting for peace and then the mission is to maintain it. "All gave some, some gave all."
it's good to honor veterans because they have given lives for our country to have peace. they deserve to have our respect.

Veterans day was started to honor the veterans that have served and are still alive.
i honestly and personally think their is never a wrong time to honor a veteran. we all celebrate them and honor them on veterans day, but that doesn't mean we have to ignore them all year long and then when veterans day comes we could honor them. you can go to a veterans clinick aka a veterans home and just let them know that u are thankful and grateful for everything they have done for our country.
Many cities have different wasy of honoring veterans. Usually the honoring veterans happens on veterans day, November 11th. Some communities put flowers on the grave of fallen veterans to honor them. Others hang American flags outside their front porch.
