Millions of veterans fought in battles far from their home, for the defense of the people and their country, and many did not know when, or if, they would come home and see their families again. The soldiers who died in foreign lands they didn't know gave two lives. The life they had lived, and the life they were going to live. These soldiers gave up the chance of becoming a parent or grandparent, all to defend the country that they so dearly loved. And the ones that came home are celebrated because they did, they risked it all for America.
