Especially to all the non-veteran bureaucrats and bank employees who never served a day, and to all the veterans who had to work that day. Why not make it a whole month.

Oh yeah, and Happy Day to all the guys living on the sidewalk and in boxes under bridges. The Military takes care of its own!

In Canada that was The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. I was at the service, in uniform, with the poppy pinned to the left breast. Yes the banks are closed, the government takes the day off, but the schools are not off, the teachers seem only able to take a day off on a Friday. Odd that.

My Dad was a WWII vet, serving in the Pacific as a Radio Man. He died on Veteran Day in 1995. I pulled a high number during the Viet Nam years when the draft was by lottery. Went down and took the physical to join the Navy but never made it to the swaring-in, having a last minute change of heart.

Just one man's story. Sounds like yours has been been rougher, and I'm sorry for that.

Each year that goes by makes me more respectbul for our vets. They go in harms way for us and we owe them more then just a day.

Whenever I see a person in uniform, I try to stop them and just say thank you. You'd be amazed at how much a simple acknowledgement affects these people.

My dad was in the Korean war and his platoon was attacked by mortar fire. All but four of them were killed. He and the the other 3 survivors had to literally crawl to get help because of the severity of thier wounds. He had two scars on his right side. One was about the size of your fist and the other was about size of of a half dollar, both from shrapnel.

I could never get him to talk about the war other than to tell me how he got the scars.

These people don't do it for "glory" and they sure don't do it for the money. They do it for love of their country.

Honoring vets is a great idea. I just don't see how closing down the government for a day achieves that.

My Dad's a WWII veteran. When they built the memorial in DC someone asked what he thought about it. He said he'd rather have a check.
