Its more a holiday of remembrance. You should thank the old dogs walking around with the unit hats on other than that enjoy your time off work.

Go to Arlington National Cemetery.  There will be band concerts and ceremonies celebrating those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that YOU could have a free country.

Eh, have a little small celebration. Usually invite my closest friends, go out to eat, movies, or something.

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday that takes place on May 30 and is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who died in military service for their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it expanded to include those who died in any war or military action. Today, some Americans apparently use Memorial Day weekend to also honor family members who have died. Church services on the Sunday prior to Memorial Day may include a reading of the names of members who have died during the previous 12 months.

It all depends on what you really want them to see. Take into consideration that they most likely don't want to be reminded of the wars and fighting that they had to go through. There are several documentaries out there that honor veterans very well but they might not like being reminded of the hell they had to go through. Your heart is in the right place and god bless you for that. Your best bet to honor them is to just keep a US flag in the home and tell them thank you for all they have done for us.\nHope this helps and bless you for haveing a big heart with veterans.

I call your question almost entirely unintelligible.\n\nBut if you mean what do we call our equivalent of your Veterans Day then the answer is Remembrance Day.\n\nAnd it's not just in England. England is one country within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It also includes Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.\n\nsee my recent answer on Remembrance Day at>>>\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhpXG7t1YHCYq_h.g_dW5rTsy6IX?qid=20061112121321AALUS8V

If Veteran's Day is the same as Rememberance Day in the UK then it is the 11th of November...same date every year.\n\nArmistice Day = 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month

Best thing to do for a Veteran is to say Thank You and shake their hand for their service.  I am a Prior Service Female Marine and very proud of that fact, tear still comes to my eyes when someone thanks me.  Also, I am an active member of my local American Legion, which we do services for our past and present Veterans, so, look up in your area what kind things happen in your community and say thank you to others.

Deployed OEF-7 Afghanistan. Thanx a lot. Everyone stateside please eat a wonderful dinner, burp eat dessert, burp watch football, burp make a turkey sandwich, and have a beer for me. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. And if you get up early enough watch the parade. If you have never been deployed you will probably never understand what you take for granted. I know I didn't. Happy Holidays.

Memorial Day is in celebration of all people who have passed away. Veterens Day is a time to remember the men and women who served their country in the armed forces.

While i applaud your idea of doing something for the Veterans, I am not sure that alcohol bottles on a Christmas Tree is the right message to send. Isn't there a better way to decorate it? Maybe Angels? Flags? American food like burgers and apple pie? Something that will be funny. The holidays are a difficult time for a lot of people and a lot turn to alcohol at thhat time of the year. Maybe it would be better to send a positive message.

Honestly - and I am speaking from experience - the best way to thank a veteran is to look them squarely in the eye, shake their hand and say, "Thank you."\n\nWe don't ask for or expect anything more, and that simple recognition has been known to bring tears to servicemembers eyes.\n\nOr, in my case, you can thank me with a Best Answer selection! LOL! JUST KIDDING!!!   :-P

Yes I do. All my life. I do not look at it like a religious holiday. No more than veterans day is a military holiday. Just a holiday to give family and friends gifts and cards.
