I didn't realize that, though now that you mention it, I think it came up last year, too. I'm pretty oblivious to any holidays I don't actively celebrate. Anyway, you have a good point, but on the other hand, I wasn't REALLY trying to make it a holiday for anyone else. It's just my joke of a holiday, and the good news is that I don't know any veterans who are too self-important to share. It's not like other people don't share days. There are only so many days in the year, and a certain carpenter's son gets to share his days with a fat man and a bunny rabbit, so if they can get along, I don't see the harm.

Maybe I'll befriend a veteran at some point and reconsider, but for now, I'll have fun with what has significance for me, at the risk of being disrespectful.
