When Veteran’s Day falls on a Sunday, like this year, the Federal Holiday is observed on Monday. That means Federal offices, such as the Post Office observe the day today, so don’t go looking for mail delivery. If you’re not sure if a Federal Office is open today, give them a call before you venture out to one.

Six years ago in 2012, Veteran’s Day also landed on a Sunday and was observed on Monday. Here on the Pasty Cam we had a photo snapped of the Veteran’s Memorial in the Lake Linden Park. The flag flies there year round, and the stone at the foot of the flagpole states: 'In honor of all those who served our country'. It's a great reminder for people enjoying our beautiful park to be thankful for the freedoms we enjoy, because of the sacrifices of those who serve in the branches of our military.

The following year, in 2013, Nov. 12th was just a regular day and we enjoyed a photo taken by Walter Dennis when his family took their last 4 wheel ride for the season in the Iron River area. That’s the Cardiff Mine in his photo and yes, that was snow there, too. Looks a lot like it does right now here in the Copper Country after this past Friday’s snowstorm.

We had snow in 2014 also, as you can see in Beth Jukuri’s photo. She captured this photo of their wintery farm, while she was out for a walk in the freshly fallen snow. What a great scene with the color contrasts of all the white surrounding the red barn and topped off by the blue sky and clouds. Definitely a capture of the beauty that we often take for granted in the busyness of every day life.

Don’t forget to thank a Veteran for their service, as we have an extra day this year to remind us to do so. Check out today’s video from the History Channel for a bit of background on celebrating our Vets. Thank you to all our Veteran’s and those currently serving.

The best safety device in a car is a rear view mirror with a police officer's car in it.
