I am a 20 year veteran. I'm also a police officer. I always work on weekends and I do get quite angry on veterans day because it seems like veterans are always working. It should be that in able to get the day off work, you have to be a vet, or going to an event to support vets.
The day that I really hate is memorial day. All weekend long I deal with drunken morons, enjoying a 3 day weekend. Its supposed to be about honoring the memory of our dead soldiers and instead they do stupid things and get all indigint like its their right to be drunk and stupid for the 'holiday'
