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!
 
Semper Fi and OOORAAAH to every Jarhead around the world... especially to my grunt brethren who are downrange tonight.
