Major General Megan Tatu doesn't have a normal job. As one of the highest ranking women in the US Army Reserve, she's responsible for commanding and controlling more than 20,000 sustainment soldiers across 19 states.

"In the Army, one of our core values is selfless service, which by it's very nature makes it hard for many veterans to accept a thank you."
Major General Tatu added that she finds herself incredibly grateful for "the fact that we have men and women who voluntarily take that step to obligate themselves to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. I have great admiration for [them]."
When asked about her own Veteran's Day traditions, she mentions her grandfather, who served in World War I and passed away when she was young.
"I still have his service medal and I always pull it out on this day, and think about the sacrifices he made."
