For a long time there were fewer and fewer vets from WWI around to thank, and now there are nearly none. And the vets from WWII decline in numbers every year too.
And we have some of the newer veterans to thank, but they aren't prominent in numbers either. The newer conflicts are not as all encompassing that past conflicts have been.
Which shows, those veterans have done their job, and their declining numbers are all the more reason to celebrate their sacrifice.
They are veterans, so we don't have to be.
