Do your friends and family know the difference between Memorial Day and Veterans Day?

A vast majority of the population does not know the difference between these two holidays or the meaning of who is being honored or remembered!

I've explained the difference to my family and friends a few times. Most understand too.

Sgt Joe LaBranche Afraid not. That makes two items for me to work on. Come to think of it, I would hazard that only one of my 6 descendants has been to their uncle's grave site! @ the Los Angeles Veteran's Cemetery.

Yes
My kids are both cadets and my wife and I are both Soldiers. Both families are military service families.
Yep we know.
