Delimna?

The Veteran's Day holiday this year is on the 11th of the month.  That is a Thursday. 

The next day - Friday, is not a holiday.  One would think  the calendar planners could have moved Thursday a little closer to the weekend this year and given us working stiffs a 3 day weekend.  But, no!  They inserted that pesky Friday into my weekend, forcing me to split my days off. 

This puts an extra day in the way of our annual Veteran's Day parades and the placing flags at the cemetery.  We can't even thank our servicemen who are doing so much to protect and preserve our way of life - we should wait until the weekend comes!

Or no, we don't have to wait, do we!  We can say thank you right now to all servicemen in all branches- whether on active duty, reserve or retired.  And we should do that today.  And tomorrow and every day that comes under the freedoms they have fought to preserve.

Thank you to all branches.  We salute you!
