What did you enjoy about Military Appreciation Day?

I ran into many many Vietnam Vets. I make sure to give those men a hearty handshake and a "Welcome Home" we owed them that 4 decades ago. I gave my number to two Wounded Warriors, to include them in our "Buddy Check Group" just so that tey know there is a brother that they can call 24/7, and I was humbled by all the people that thanked me for my service. I made sure to thank the Soldiers still in for their bravery. When they thanked me for my service, I replied, "Well Soldier, I enlisted and a war happened and I got sent, YOU enlisted with one going on, KNOWING that you were going, and Soldier, that is closer to brave then I ever stood." God protect those that are on that wall.

Armed Forces Day needs to be moved more than 2 weeks away from Memorial Day. I and 8 of my "brothers" spent the morning setting out flags in 2 local cemeteries preparing for Memorial Day. We just don't have the people or time in a small village to plan 2 military holidays that close together...

Never heard of Military Appreciation Day.
