Veterans Day is an American holiday for honoring war veterans.It's the time for honoring living veterans who have served in the military during wartime or peacetime, partially to complement Memorial Day, which primarily honors the dead. It falls on November 11, the anniversary of the signing of the armistice that ended World War I. All major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice.
In Iran we also pay tribute to the veterans.We also honor the courage of those who were lost in war, we think of their families who lost a loved one, and pray for their comfort.
Veterans have placed the nation's security before their own lives. Their sacrifice creates a debt that we can never fully repay.
Iran owes its calm and security to the selfless endeavors of the gallant combatants who created momentous epics in Islamic Revolution in 1979 and Sacred Defense (the 1980-88 Iraq-imposed war) and defeated aggressors on various fronts.
Safeguarding the lofty status of martyrs and respecting their families, as well as protecting the rights of war veterans, is a national duty which must become the top priority of all proponents of the Islamic Revolution.
