I ran across this simple and concise definition of a Veteran recently. I have been looking for proper attribution but as far as I can tell, the author remains unknown.
A Veteran – whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve,
is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made
payable to “The United States of America”, for an amount of “up to
and including my life.”That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who
no longer understand it.Author Unknown
I like simple.
