 I chose to serve because there was an itch inside of me that I felt that needed to be scratched. It was something that I felt I needed to do otherwise later in my life I would regret it. First there's a distinct difference I think between Memorial Day and Veterans Day that people get confused. For me Memorial Day is honoring and remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice while Veterans Day is honoring those who have served and are still alive to be thanked today. Really just a kind hearted, genuine thank you is always nice and you can really always spot a veteran most of the time they're always wearing those ball caps that state what war they fought in and really just going up to them and giving them a handshake and some warm words of thanks.
