I served 4 years, and I have to work today!! This is the thanks I get?
The good news is: Holiday pay today!

Happy Veterans Day to all our brave veterans.

Thanks.

I did 6 years 2 months and 9 days in the Air Force (1968-74). I'm as proud of that as anything I've done in my life.

Funny you should bring that up. Seventeen years ago, my secretary had a baby on October 31. She obviously was still out of work on November 11 but we had just merged with a national law firm.

On Veteran's Day, she called me....the lawfirm had called her and asked her where I was. She called me at home and I told her, "It's Veterans' Day... a holiday"; she laughed and said, "This firm doesn't take Veterans' Day off!"

I thought Veterans' Day was as sacred as Christmas Day!

Now that I have my own firm, Veterans' Day, though not a holiday, is a day where we watch the parade go by and the firm buys lunch for everyone. Not a whole lot gets accomplished on this day.....but at least we stop and acknowledge the day.

I thank God everyday for the sacrifices of our military and their families.

I think that as soon as we finish buying out my old partner, we'll make today an official firm holiday!
