So just curious how many of us get Vets day off? I do now that I work for a local government. The funny thing is when I was in the army at Ft Bragg we never once got Vets day off lol!!
It's not company policy, but the vets that work for me get the day with pay.
Thats damn nice of ya!! All you vets need to get a job for Drew!!
I am a Vet and thank that we all should have it off. But the one thing I can say is where I work they make sure that our day is not that bad and we have people telling us thank you all day long..... I HOPE ALL OUR VETS HAVE A GREAT DAY.........AND THANK YOU TOO!!!!!!!!
Vet here as is wife and working for the DOD I get the day off. More than that I got a great note from my boss thanking me for my service and emails from other teachers saying the same. We live in a great country and it is great to see how people are making it a point to give thanks to those that take the risks for our freedom. I can only hope years from now when this war is in the history books and the debt still needs to be paid for those that that served we have such support. Having seen Vets from past wars get passed over for medical care, VA hospitals put off because of cost, and vets having to wait months to get care. When the bill comes due in the years to come I hope the support stays because the men and women of our armed forces have earned it.

Thanks,101st airborne southeast asia 1970-71 ashua valley . I met an old man yesterday at a nursing home that was in his 80's . He was an x marine, he was the driver of the 1st landingcraft to bring marines onto the beach at iwo jima . His gunner was killed, he made 9 trips from the ship to that beach and lost some people on each trip . He was a very lonely old man and his son visited him about once a month .I introduced him to my dad which is in the same home . My dad was in the battle of the bulge , they became good friends and i sat and listened to their stories for 2 hrs .I tried getting some word in edgewise about my stories from vietnam but did not get to speak much .Today is veterans day and i am taking both out to a big steak dinner. If it was not for men like this guy and my dad i dont know where we would be today?As for my war , i still trying to figure out what the fuck we were doing over there
