Default Is Veteran's Day a real holiday?

I seem to remember getting Veteran's day off when I was in school... along with Memorial Day, and President's Day. But my co-workers don't think Veteran's day is a real holiday.

Is it? Are you guys getting Veteran's day off?

Also, why the heck am I working at a place where the employees are TRYING to convince me that we shouldn't have a day off???

Veteran's day is for lazy feds and bankers.

I work in the private sector.

Yup, it's for federal employees.

Oh...and you need new co-workers. Just tell Scott you need to, um, have a Ferrari Day off. I'm sure that'll be granted.
