Veterans Day...

[Chin Diesel]

I still have my youngest in college. I will probably die at my desk.

I had more Veterans Days off when I was active duty than I have had as a civilian. Lol.

To be fair I get nine paid holidays a year (90 hours of holiday time) and only four or five are part of the company-wide holiday calendar; the rest are up to the individual to use as desired.

A salute, tip of the cap and a touch of a beverage holder to all veterans. A day of thanks that all those that have allowed our citizens to speak English.
Go Huskies!!!

USAF 1967-71. UConn provided a foundation but the real world experienced and lessons learned in those four years built upon it for even greater success in life. Almost every veteran I know feels they gained more then they gave.

Lots of unfocused young people could materially benefit from four years in uniform. One of my nephews was failing at everything in HS and joined the Navy. The discipline he faced in training turned him around and the career field he was placed in after testing allowed him to grow and achieve things he'd never considered. After four years he went to DePaul, graduated with honors, and has had a very successful management career in the electronics industry.
