Observed on November 11 every year in the USA, Veterans Day (originally known as Armistice Day) is an official public holiday to honor military veterans – that is, those who served in the United States Armed Forces.
Veterans are people that deserve our thanks and gratitude, but how we make them feel on their special day to show appreciation is not always the same for everyone. From loved ones far away to retired vets who live among us, these following quotes will make them all feel special and honored.
