“We need to dedicate a month to veterans before we dedicate a month to ‘Pride.’ I believe we should honor our veterans with the same recognition we give to other significant causes. Dedicating a month to them would be a meaningful way to show our appreciation for their service and sacrifices.”

One veteran, John Mitchell, expressed his support for Greenwood’s idea: “As a veteran, I feel that having a dedicated month would bring more attention to the challenges we face and the sacrifices we’ve made. It’s about time we have more than just a day to acknowledge our service.”

While the idea of dedicating a month to veterans has garnered support, it also faces challenges. Some critics argue that a month-long celebration might overshadow other important observances, leading to a crowded calendar. They suggest that enhancing existing veterans’ observances might be a more practical approach.
