A veteran is anyone who has served in the armed forces. Veterans Day honors the living. A separate holiday, Memorial Day in May, honors those who died in military service.
This week on our program, we talk about Veterans Day. We also tell you about a group of women veterans who played a special part in American military history.
The United States has about 22 million veterans. The term "veteran" is not just for those who have served in wars. It describes anyone who has ever been in the military.
On November 11th communities hold ceremonies and parades to observe Veterans Day. The president and other public officials take part in the events. Military bands play. And soldiers fire guns into the air in a salute to remember those who died in service to their country.
The history of Veterans Day relates to World War I. Many people at the time called it "the war to end all wars."11月11日是美国老兵日。老兵是指服过兵役的人。老兵日纪念生者，而另一个节日“五月纪念日”，则是纪念服役期间牺牲的人。
在本周的节目中，我们介绍老兵节，还要为大家讲述一群在美国军事史中发挥特殊作用的退伍女兵。
美国有2200万老兵。“老兵”不仅指上过战场的军人，而是指所有参过军的人。
在11月11日当天，社区组织庆典和游行来庆祝老兵日；军乐团奏乐；总统和其他担任公职的官员参与庆祝活动；士兵以鸣枪礼来纪念在服役期间为国牺牲的人。
老兵节的历史可追溯到第一次世界大战，其时，很多人称之为“终结一切战争之战”。
