This is what I was going to post:

Will Veteran's Day die when the last vet of WW II (the last war we won) passes on?

Is it just me or does the country celebrate the service of WW II vets disproportionally more than our more embarrassing wars?

I wonder how many people know that we had a war in Korea.

But I understand, it would be difficult for the President to climb behind a dumpster to thank a Vietnam vet for his/her service.
