People get the day off today?
My employer (who is a HUGE recruiter of ex-military) has a white-tablecloth breakfast every year for veterans and encourages them to wear their uniforms to work on this day. They are also highly supportive of people in the various "reserves". The head of my whole project (1,000+ people) is Navy reserve, and spends a month out of every year out at sea teaching college classes...
(The ONLY way to walk into a high-level position and not work your way up from within where I work is through the military. We snagged Colin Powell's chief of staff a few years ago when he retired.)
