Not only do the dead have no way to make their opinions known at Veteran's Day ceremonies but those who were disfigured and/or crippled in action are often denied a place for fear of "giving war a bad name. " Renaming November 11th Veterans' Day in the USA , deliberately shifted the focus away from remembering the dead to celebrating the survivors.
