Once again-there is no "federal holiday" or interruption of Gov't services. It is a day to remember, "lest we forget." The date commemorates the "official" last day of our troop involvement. There could, and I believe should, be other days from this war that are "officially Remembered," just as there are in other wars, but this one will have to suffice. Oh, and this was already enacted 3 calendar years ago; don't you remember all of the attention it got in the press then, and each year after? Nope, me neither. Don't hold your breath. I guess that as much as things change, some remain the same. I respect the feelings of those that need to remember, and I am puzzled by those who would resist this effort to acknowledgment the memory of those who both served and died-no matter how late it might be. The President's proclamation is available on line regarding this day, for those who would care to be briefed.
