I am a veteran myself (8 years US Army) and like your idea. Perhaps it could be a federal law that any Honorably Discharged veteran gets Veterans Day off......with pay!!!!!

When I was young, I used to ask my father the same question. (He is a veteran as well) I could never understand why a veteran had to work on veteran's day. As a matter of fact, I still don't.

I'm assuming you're speaking of your current employer who is obviously not a federal employer? Yah, I think it's absolute crap that Veteran's aren't recognized at many businesses. My company would recognize Martin Luther King day and Labor Day but not Easter. Not Veteran's Day. While I feel MLK Day and Labor Day are both worthy of a day off, I felt they should at least rotate the holidays so one year we'd get MLK, the next year Veteran's Day, the next year Easter, etc.

Which Day? Election Day? Veterans' Day?

The Military? Maybe in duty sections, over a period of days, to rotate the troops. That way we stayed covered, and everyone gets a day off.

My husband is active duty military in his 23rd year of service and is working on Veteran's Day.
Go figure.
