Today, November 11, is Veteran's Day in the US. Veterans have traditionally been well-represented in zoo workforces, in part due to hiring preferences for them among government-run zoos, especially at the federal level. (Also seen in decent numbers in parts of the government that we interact with - well, when the government is open, anyway - such as USDA inspectors). Many facilities also use this day to thank veterans for their service with free or discounted admission and other recognition events. Thank you to those who have served the country, be they members of our staff or coming through our gates.
