    Veterans Day commemorates those who served but returned alive. Memorial Day is to pay tribute to the ones that died for the country. Obviously since most veterans knew people that died in conflict, this is a very sacred day for them to remember their deceased friends. So if you know a living vet, give him a hug today, he'll appreciate it.
