Saturday marks Veterans Day in the United States. And while corporations shell out discounts and lawmakers offer their thanks for veterans' service, some veterans say the day is a painful reminder of their own service, especially as war rages in Gaza between Israel and Hamas.
"As I reflect on what's going on today in the Middle East in particular, you know, my goal is to be able to celebrate Veterans Day and not add more to Memorial Day," said Dennis Fritz, a retired command chief master sergeant in the Air Force.
Fritz now serves as director of The Eisenhower Media Network – an organization of national security experts, including former military and intelligence personnel.

"As some veterans have called for a cease-fire in the war, they have met heavy resistance from many lawmakers on Capitol Hill. On Thursday, the White House announced that Israel would allow a four-hour-a-day pause in fighting in order for civilians trapped in northern Gaza to move further south."
