No service for me, but a special shot out to my sister who has been in the National Guard for over 20 years, and to my dad, who served in the Navy for four years. Thanks to all!

If other countries don't have days for those that paved the way for them or defend them...that is pitiful.

Well, ours is called "People's Mourning Day" and is in November. It's always a Sunday, so we don't get a day off and for most people the day passes unnoticed.
I was in the army but never in combat. *shrugs*

See, that just feels weird to me. At the time service was mandatory, so it's not like I had much of a choice. I could have cited religious or moral reasons to do community service instead but that could have been even worse. Rifle or bedpan, difficult decision. 
It's not like I helped anyone or affected anything while I was a soldier. We just trained all the time, we didn't actually do anything of value. Unless you count the negative value of destroyed equipment.
You can thank someone who voluntarily goes into a combat zone to help people... but not me. I didn't do anything, I just looked good in uniform.

Oo
Well... seems the military is quite important to the US culture. That might explain your gigantic defense budget.

Memorial Day is specific to those (Americans) who have died in the armed forces. Veterans Day is for all those who have served.

I think you guys are confused with Veterans day. you should really be honouring those who sacrificed everything, and their lives to serve. thank those who gave their lives.
and before I'm called out for being insensitive, I was in the Army. Memorial day and Veterans day are different.

it's a national holiday, but regardless, any sacrifice should be honored.

that could be true, but with how everyone treats the day, it's just thanking those who serve while disregarding the entire point; thanking those who served and died in duty.
to me, we can't have enough days to honor those who died being true heroes.
