How should Americans show appreciation for our Veterans?

"Giving Veterans 20% off is one small way to recognize those who risked all to serve this nation and defend liberty and justice around the world, and the Department of Veterans Affairs is grateful that so many companies help us celebrate our Veterans each year in this way.

But there are other ways to say "thank you" to those who took the oath, and I encourage everyone to use Veterans Day as a chance to learn more about the 41 million men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States." - VA Secretary Robert Wilkie
