In honoring the dead, we honor the living. That’s saying is never truer than in this nation’s observance of those who have served in the armed services.

This weekend, Memorial Day services around the nation will host parades, bands will play, flags will be placed at gravesites, and the nation as a whole will take a collective moment to remember those who have died in the service of the country.

Veterans Day, on the other hand, honors all those who have served, or are serving, in the armed services whether in peacetime or wartime.
