I am a navy veteran. I didn't like the Navy when I was in and lord knows I could have done a lot better ...
But I've made my peace with the lackadaisical enlistment and until their sorry ass Treasurer pissed me off I was contributing to the USS MacDonough Reunion Association monthly in an effort to make further amends.
Some of my cohorts at work whined about being veterans and not being off for Veterans Day.
I told them that the incorporated municipality did not honor veterans because of other chosen official holidays.
Veterans Day was once called Armistice Day. It is a federal holiday in the United States observed each November 11 in the name of honoring military veterans discharged honorably.
For those of you who are veterans I'm happy to wish you a happy Veteran's Day whether you work the day or not !
