Thanks, Frances.

I had a few people who knew that I was Vet say, "thank you".

What really erks me though is very few employers that I am aware of acknowledge the vets that work for them. Neither a verbal or email acknowledgement ... or (wishfull thinking) comp time. Seems to me Vets Day is regarded as a meaningless holiday by non-governmental employers, just something to tolerate.

grumble, grumble
