Thanks for keeping us safe, guys!

Has anyone noticed a trend in recent years of businesses not treating Veterans' Day as a business holiday? My wife's job [w/a Fortune 500 company] does not give it as a paid holiday, for example. As I recall when I was a kid in the 1970s and 1980s everyone's offices were closed and every office I worked in until 1994 treated it as a paid holiday. On that last job the boss did not want to give it but was shamed into it by a vet on staff. Then again, he also tried to make everyone who wasn't Christian work on Christmas Day. I said fine, I'll take the 8 days each of Hanukkah and Passover as paid time off instead. He reconsidered.
