Veterans Pride Initiative Begins Veterans Day

America’s veterans can indeed be proud of their service and sacrifice for freedom, and a new Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) initiative that begins Veterans Day will be one way of showing it.

VA Secretary R. James Nicholson is asking veterans to wear their military decorations on Veterans Day, November 11, in observance of their service. The initiative is based on the traditions of several countries where veterans wear their wartime military decorations in public on special holidays.

“This new initiative will help our citizens recognize and honor those who literally put life and limb on the line in defense of our nation,â€
"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." -Henery Louis Mencken (1880-1956)
