Many of our companies facilities have gotten recognition for being a military friendly employer. Veteran's Day is one of our holidays. Of course, since our facilities are open everyday some people may have to work on the holiday. Count me as one of them. Actually, count our whole department. This week happens to be payroll week so we didn't get the day off. We did have bagels in honor of our vets. One of my friends at work is going to be deployed soon. Well, maybe soon. I don't really know. He can't tell us when. It will just be a surprise (not a surprise that makes you smile) when we come in one day and he's not there. I'm hoping he will get to stay through the holidays but who knows. I guess working at one of our facilities is a bit like the military since you still have to be in uniform and everyday is business as usual - holiday or not.
The upside to it? I have always wanted to be able to write to someone in the military. Yeah, yeah, I know there are groups that could get me the name of someone to write to, but who wants to write to a stranger? Not me, I want to be able to encourage and cheer up someone I know. Selfish of me? Duh! Of course it is. But the key there is me...because as everyone knows...it's all about me. :) Nothing like turning Veteran's day into a day all about me...
One final thing to all you veterans...
THANK YOU!
