| Having known service members that have died while serving I do consider Memorial Day for them alone. So assuming someone served and passed from natural or unrelated causes outside the line of duty, their day is Veteran's Day. Many will treat them the same, I do not.

That would be Veterans Day. (aka Armistice Day, the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, the end of World War I.) |
