Happy Veterans’ Day 2017!
Hello dear readers, and happy (early) Veterans Day!
As you know, Veterans’ Day is normally celebrated on November 11 of every year, but when it falls on a Saturday (like this year) observance is usually the workday before or after it.
Today, the WCAB should be closed and, as November 10, 2017 is considered a state holiday (observation of Veterans Day) any duty or obligation that was due today (like the last day to file something, for example) should be extended to the next working day or Monday, November 13. (See California Rules of Court 1.10(b)).
As always, your humble blogger will make this shameless plug for Fisher House Foundation, a charity that helps veterans’ families with housing while the family members visit injured veterans in the hospital.
Of interest, CharityNavigator.org gives Fisher House Foundation 4/4 stars for accountability and transparency, with 91.3% of its spending going to its programs and services rather than administrative costs.
Here’s hoping you have a restful and reflecting Veterans’ Day, whether at your post at work or enjoying the day off.
