My Dad did not serve in the US military, but was
1) working for British intelligence before we were involved
2) Part of the French underground
3) Flew with the free French air force
4) Trained US pilots at the end of the war.
He was still a veteran, tho not a US vet.
He became a US citizen after WWII.
So i remember him well on this day.

Completely useful..good source, thanks anyway!
Yes he definitely deserves recognition as a veteran on this day. Our oldest daughter worked for the defense department many years developing software for our Navy ships. Her battle group was the first to head for Afghanistan after 9/11. We think of her too as a military veteran. Many civilians have gone above and beyond for our freedom.
