Thanks JJ, this is a wonderful thread.

Its a shame that many people don't appreciate the reason behind some holidays. I work with about fifty people (we dont get holidays off unless they fall on our regularly scheduled off days), and on Verterans Day, for example, the only people that thank the vets are the other vets.

This is a great community, full of patriots. I'm proud to be a member here.
