“What about New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas?”

I understand. But, the SCOTUS keeps gaveling that government is not in the religion business. So keep it at a public level of respect to the country, and to those who have served and sacrificed.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter have become farcical mercantile monstrosities. Those who wish to partake can, and will. But not on the taxpayers dime.

My whole point is that most government holidays ate really only celebrated by government workers who actually get the day off. The days are given off to government workers with pay and no government work is being done. It’s a gross waste of tax dollars to do this or rather to keep continuing to do this. If government workers want to work for the government then that’s the sacrifice government workers are going to have to make... And government workers are going to have to just take the days off with using vacation time.
