Only in America, and Only in the South
Can someone from the South please explain this to me? Explain how you celebrate getting your ass kicked. Now before you all go Hillary on me, let me state that anyone who fights (and potentially dies) for what he believes in should be commended. That being said, we're talking about formal state holidays where paid state employees get the day off. What the hell is next, Bay of Pigs Day?
Hell, most people don't respect the federal holiday's we have like the 4th of July and Memorial Day. They're simply days people don't have to go to work. Taking a day off isn't going to help people "never forget their sacrifices". Hell, if we started taking days off for every group of people who've made sacrifices we end up working less than the French.
Hey southerners, suck it up, remember your ancestors on your own dime, and get back to work.

I'm a southerner working in an NORTHERN state for a government agency. I get 14 paid holidays and 14 vacation days and 14 sick days. Never got that in the south anywhere. You should probably get better informed. I suspect holidays, paid or otherwise, are at employer discretion. And most employers are cheap and want all the labor they can get for those low wage jobs. I doubt McDonald's employees get many holidays... paid or otherwise, no matter what state they are located in.
