Veterans is a term more used in the USA than in Britain to describe people who have served in the armed forces. The USA celebrates 11 November (Armistice Day in Britain and the Commonwealth) as Veterans' Day to honour all men and women who have served in the US armed forces, without implying that they have seen active service.
Many veterans of the Gulf war have had to fight to gain recognition of the serious medical problems they have suffered as a result of ‘Gulf War Syndrome’ which covers a wide range of symptoms and has yet to be properly explained but may well be a result of prophylactic injections given in preparation for chemical and biological warfare. Veterans today can still find reintegration into civilian society a long and hard process but the organizations established after WW I are still very active and can offer much-needed support to returning soldiers."

I think this would be a great place to honor our vets (relatives and friends) by adding their names here.
