Veterans Day

Today is Veterans Day [observed]. As you can see from the Department of Veterans Affair website, even they can't keep the day and date straight. It is time to get rid of the three day weekend nonsense.

Find a veteran and buy him a beer. Or, at the very least, shake his hand and thank him for risking his life so you don't have to.
