It is veterans day. I've only found one company that gives a damn. Canadian Pacific Railway. CPR continues to pay tribute to the veterans who served in the last century's two world wars. This tradition is that every CP locomotive stops moving.... has a minute of silence, then sounds its whistle at 11:01 a.m. local time

CP is a proud partner of the US Army PaYS program, which recruits soldiers interested in obtaining a quality civilian job following service to their country. Learn about our Veteran Management Trainee program https://www.cpr.ca/en/careers/veterans

Respect. It's so damn rare.

I'm still wondering when this country is going to give veterans the day off work on veteran's day. So, people with govt jobs get the day off work, but, all vets with regular jobs go to work, but can't get their mail delivered? Can't get the DMV open so they can deal with drivers licenses, or whatever other examples you can figure out for yourself... but the vets with years in the military, and an honorable discharge can't be given a national fucking holiday off work.

I say, fuck the politicians who could make that happen with a damn signature. Those corrupt bastards get the day off, though most have been lifelong politicians with ZERO time in the military.

Further, let me specify that this company is doing something that sets them apart from the Veterans Day sale companies that seem to email blast us with their "care" for vets... this company, CP, isn't trying to sell us something with their implied concern. CP is NOT selling anything. They are doing something instead.
