What is a Veteran?
A military veteran is: experienced in a trade
trained and skilled in their job
knowledgeable about being on time and on target
salutes the flag with purpose
wears or has worn a uniform
has sworn and taken an oath
has carried a weapon
has polished boots
understands what ‘taps’ means
comprehends an order
has awoken to reveille
knows the chain of command
has spoken the language of acronyms
has longed for leave
owns a set of dog tags
has access to organizations like the VFW, American Legion, VA, MOAA, NCOA
garners respect when speaking of service
has protected the integrity of our constitution
has pledged allegiance to our flag, and meant it!
