"What is a veteran? A veteran - whether active duty, discharged, retired 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 his life."

This quote really touched me today. My father is a veteran, as was my father-in-law. And, now my son is seriously considering enlisting.
