Why do the yanks call it Veterans day btw?

I mean it's a day to remember and honour those who lived through all conflicts and those who died during them. Veteran to me implies they are still alive, so what about the dead ones? Huh


Veteran
#2 A person who has served in the armed forces.
#3 An old soldier who has seen long service.

The men who died are also Veterans. That is why it is called Veteran's Day.
