Happy Veterans Day

How can one say HAPPY Veterans Day.
A day reminiscent of all they who returned
from the horrors of war suffering with PTSS as well as all of the medically in firmed.
How can one say HAPPY Veterans Day.
when so many brothers and sisters lost their lives
leaving behind loving friends and family, children, husbands and wives.
How can one say HAPPY Veterans Day.
It just seems so disrespectfully inappropriate to me.
If I were to say anything to honor that day this is what it would be,
"Have A Great Veterans Day, In Honor Of All They 
Who've Insured We All Live Our Lives Safely and Free."
