May is National Military Appreciation Month. It was established as such before June was recognized as Pride Month. It is meant to celebrate all past and present members on the military.
In addition, veterans have Veteran's Day in November.
As RWR says, as a veteran, I don't need to be celebrated.
I'm an old, straight, white guy; but, I served to protect everyone equally. And, I use my voice to speak out against racism and bigotry of all kinds.
I believe everyone should be equal. I don't care if you're black, white, brown, yellow, red, or pink with purple and green polka dots. I don't care if you're gay, straight, transgender, or non-binary. I don't care if you can trace your American ancestry back 10 generations; or if you were the first in your family born a US citizen; or even if you just arrived here. I don't care what "God" you pray to; or if you don't pray to anyone.
The only thing I'll judge you on is ignorance; especially willful ignorance.
The idea of the United States of America was, and should remain, one of a melting pot, where ALL people are created equal. A long time ago, I took an oath to defend the Constitution of this nation, and I still hold to that oath.
