Best Answer

The term specifically means someone who has spent a number of years in their occupation and has endured all the hardships associated with it, and had a wealth of knowledge to share from their experiences. A similar word would be 'experienced.'

The term "Veteran" is most often used to indicate a person who served in the military. Veterans Day in the US is a holiday to commemorate those that served in the armed forces.

What does decorated veteran mean?

With some exceptions, like dishonorable discharges, all servicemen have been awarded a medal, just completing basic training might earn them the National Defense ribbon. Therefore all veterans are decorated veterans...however, what the term "decorated veteran" has come to mean to people in general; is a veteran that has been awarded a medal for valor (decorated for valor or decorated for heroism). So even though a servicemember is decorated with a medal (only the ribbon is actually worn), only the ones "for valor" are generally what the term "decorated veteran" pertains to.
