Maybe I'm being overly sensitive here as I am in the military, but just what about Veterans day glorifies war?

We are honoring the men and women of the US (and our allies as well) who gave of their lives to protect this nation and her allies. I can't believe anyone would say that at least WWII was unjustified! I'm situated not far from the Washington DC "mall" with the WWII, Korea, and Vietnam monuments. Daily I see our veterans at these monuments. Some are hail and hearty, some are broken. They are their to remember friends who they have lost not regail us with battle stories. The US Govt. isn't doing enough for these men and women who put their lives on the line. Can't we at least have a day where we pay some attention to them and say Thank you for your service and sacrifice?
