Our Veteran's and their wars

We celebrate Veteran's Day 11 November every year as the United States and I've often wondered what wars all those Vet's came from. Well there are a lot of them since we've been fighting almost every year since 1776. We seem to always be sending our serviceman, and women, "over there" (a lot of those fighting years have really been "over here" warring against the peeps here first - the Native Americans).
