    The U.S. has been in over 45 different military actions over our history, whether on our own soil or abroad. It is the rare fact that the United States is officially at peace that makes this Veterans Day so important.

    Hi John,While doing some reading to prepare for the article, the years I found that the US was not at war or in a conflict were:1797, 1807, 1826, 1828-1830, 1897, 1935-1940, 1976-1978, 1997, and 2000. I had read a couple articles that stated 16 or 17 years, but 15 was the most commonly agreed upon.The following article is another good summation: https://medium.com/traveling-through-history/only-15-years-of-peace-in-the-history-of-the-united-states-of-america-c479193df79f.Thanks!
