DO YOU KNOW the difference between certain patriotic holidays? For example, what is the difference between Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Armed Forces Day? These three holidays should not be confused. Memorial Day is a federal holiday that remembers and mourns people who have died in U.S. military service. Veterans Day, also a federal holiday, honors the service of all U.S. military veterans, both living and deceased. Armed Forces Day, meanwhile, celebrates everyone currently serving in the U.S. armed forces. Unlike Memorial Day and Veterans Day, Armed Forces Day is not an official federal holiday. #Wagnerrealty #armedforcesday2024 #militaryservice #armedforces

This Veterans Day, express your support of a military veteran by asking them these three questions: - Tell me about your time in service. - What are some things you wish I knew? - What's a favorite memory?

As we approach Veterans Day, I want to recognize the sacrifices our veterans have made to protect our freedom while they served our country. But for many U.S. veterans, leaving military service can bring big changes, both personally and financially. Getting a handle early on your money situation, and the benefits available, can help ease the transition. Here are somethings to consider as you make the transition to civilian life. https://mgstn.ly/3FSVs8Q
