I notice they have 11th Nov down as veterans day. We were over there 2 years ago on that day and one of our party had brought over some poppy's for us to wear.

Whilst wearing our poppy's with pride, we found so many Americans asking us what they were for. On explanation they told us they had nothing like that over there, and very rarely observed what they called 'Veterans day'!

Federal Legal Holidays, that's what they call them do they.
When I first came to oz I used to ask when the Bank Holidays were and people thought I was nuts. They call them Public Holidays! It gets very confusing!

It should be noted that in general only banks, schools and public buildings and institutions have all those days off, Other people in general only have the major holidays off, ie Christmas, New Year, Thnnksgiving, Labor Day and Memorial Day. Presidents Day this week was observed by banks and public buildings but in the south as in Florida the schools elected to take Rodeo Day off instead and work on Presidents Day, Such is the north/south divide!
