Veteran's Day 2025
Today is Veterans Day.It is a federal holiday. It is observed annually on November 11 and honors all those who have served in the U.S. military.
Federal employees are granted the day off, and many other businesses, state and local government offices, and schools are also closed in observance of the holiday.
Veterans Day is a legal holiday established by law. It is one of the 11 permanent federal holidays.
Federal buildings, post offices, and banks are closed, but other services like grocery stores and restaurants are often open.
I am a veteran of the US Navy. I don't expect special treatment. I do, however, enjoy attending the parade uptown at Sumter Street every now and then. Very few things give me the warm and fuzzies anymore.
