'What one veteran may find complimentary, another may find offensive or condescending,' John Raughter, deputy director of media relations for American Legion, told USA TODAY.
Raughter said its not recommended to make a veteran feel less of a veteran if they were never deployed in their military duties.
"It gets under people's skin, especially if the veteran actually got down in the trenches and lost brothers and sisters in conflict," Brown said. Akilah McNair, a U.S. Army veteran, told USA TODAY that Veterans Day is not the time to say you don't support the military. Veterans Day differs from Memorial Day where the U.S. honors fallen soldiers. Raughter said you have more freedom to find the appropriate things to say.
