It was a duty and an honor to serve, but allow me this observation:
The federal government closes banks, schools, and the Post Office to honor Martin Luther King, but not for veterans. That's all you need to know about how the government values veterans.
Schools, including Universities (I think) are open on Veteran’s Day but post offices and banks are closed for the most part. Pretty much all of the Executive Branch of the government is closed today. There’s a reason I am sitting here drinking coffee and waiting for my omelette before going to check traps, rather than being at work.
