Happy Veterans Day 2022!
Happy Veterans Day, dear readers!
In case you’re working today and wondering whether today counts as a “holiday” for deadline purposes, it certainly is under California Government Code 6700(a)(13).
Aside from trying to decide whether you have to get that petition out today, perhaps you might have a moment or two to reflect on the nature of the holiday itself. Veterans Day is a holiday to honor the veterans of the United States.
Many veterans serve their country honorably and return to civilian life to pursue gainful non-military careers or stay in the military to pursue military ones. Many, many, veterans however return with injuries that preclude such pursuits.
Some are physical and easily seen, and some, like PTSD, are invisible other than their destructive effects on the veterans and their families, friends, and communities.
If you can, please consider making a donation to Operation Surf, an organization dedicated to helping injured veterans find healing from their injuries.
Your humble blogger looks forward to seeing you back here, dear readers, come Monday next.
Have a great weekend!
