A veteran (from Latin vetus, meaning "old") is a person who is experienced in a particular area, and is particularly used in the United States to refer to people in the armed forces. It often refers to retired service personnel. A veteran is one who has served in the armed forces and has an honorable discharge; a common misconception is that one has either been in combat and/or is retired from active duty to be called a veteran.
