My employer is not even closing early on July 4 (this upcoming Friday) – - I do get holiday pay (time & a half) but it’s a bummer that we have to come in and everybody else who has the day off thinks nothing of the holiday and its meaning for those of us whose ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War . . . If it wasn’t for people like my ancestor everybody who are blue-collar workers would go a long time in between Easter and Christmas probably ! ! !
