Hmm I don?t see that one on my calendar. My calendar even has stuff like Frog Jumping Day, Jelly Bean Day, and Pi Day.

I always thought 9/11 would be a national holiday.

But as an LEO and veteran...not speaking for everyone....I really hate when people come up to thank me for my service. I always feel weird right when I take a bite out of a cheeseburger at lunch and some line has formed to thank me. I'm trying to be polite back spitting chunks of burger on them while answering my radio for an injury car accident.

But really. Their hearts are in the right place. I just don't like that much attention. Not sure if the others feel that way.

And yes the ".... Day" every day of the year is way overdone. We used to just call those days weekdays.

Not a Federal Holiday in the traditional sense, but last I knew we were calling Sept 11th Patriot Day.

I've always found it embarrassing, mainly because my service was never in anyway as stressful or dangerous as others'. I'm proud of what I've done fo the country, just have never felt it deserved special recognition like that.

Ditto that. I knew what I was doing when I signed up. I got my paycheck and other benefits that I earned. Makes me feel funny, too, when people say that. Not that I don't appreciate it, it just wasn't anything special compared to most others...especially in the last 17 years or so.

Besides...I get "special recognition" every time I can't move because of my back.

That's how I feel about my college experience.
