Veteran's Day?

Is it just me or does Veteran's Day seem more like "National Day Off of School..Day?"

There's no adjusted hours at the gyms, all the stores are open, pretty much everything is running at full speed. I haven't even seen one "Happy Veteran's Day" sign or card.

I'm going to call my dad, who's a veteran, and wish him a happy veteran's day. This day should be about celebrating the sacrifice that veteran's made for our great country. I'd like to see a little more patriotism for this day.

Hell, I didn't even get Halloween off of school and I get a whole 2 days for Thanksgiving but Veteran's Day gets a full day and no one does anything.

I just don't get it.
