I bet some of you are off today.

But did any of you remember to celebrate this past Friday?
<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> Lee-Jackson Day is a holiday celebrated in the Commonwealth of Virginia for the birthdays of Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson. Lee-Jackson Day is observed on the Friday before Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and results in the closing of state offices such as the DMV. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Don't forget to celebrate your freedoms people.

BTW, what are you all doing today since you're off? Hey, we used to celebrate a thing called Lee-Jackson-King Day.
