A compound subject is a sentance with two or more subjects.
There is only one subject (Veterans), and the predicates are served and protected ... thus it is a compound predicate.
Conjunctions appear in sentences with multiple subjects, multiple objects, or multiple predicates, or in sentences with more than one clause (compound or complex sentences).
A compound sentence contains multiple independent clauses, each of which has its own predicate. Therefore, the number of predicates in a compound sentence is equal to the number of independent clauses it contains. For example, in the sentence "I went to the store, and she stayed home," there are two independent clauses and thus two predicates.
