MLK Day as a National Holiday.

The work week is a bit shorter because of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Well, what I actually mean, is that my employer is closed on MLK day, so I got to stay home. Thank you, Dr. King for your contribution to American History, and the civil rights movement.

A popular post I saw on social media was people  offended that this day is a National Holiday, yet Veterans Day isn't. They were NOT saying that MLK, Jr. didn't deserve a National Holiday, they were saying that Veteran's Day should ALSO be a National Holiday.

Shouldn't the men and women who have served our country get at least the same recognition?

What do you think?
