It is a stat holiday but most of the places I work for ignore that and just give the employees an extra day at Christmas.
I remember walking out of an accounting seminar held on Nov 11th one year when the guy didn't shut up at 11 and observe the two minutes of silence. Man, did people think I was nuts.
I have been to the ceremonies at the museums, that is really awesome. I usually don't work that day, but as I say, I have to be available for my clients that are, but I don't go before 11.
I have a few old friends at the Legion, we do pull tickets and share a few laughs.
