Happy Veterans Day, everybody. As Matt mentioned yesterday, he’s taking a much-deserved day off. I’ll be dropping by a little later for a Corgi Friday post and a Weekend Preview, but other than that it’s gonna be a little slow around here today. Although, if you’re looking for a good read, Matt wrote a great piece on being a veteran for The Classical. I highly recommend you check it out. Lest we forget, the dude can write a little bit.
I hope you all enjoy your day off if you get one, but just don’t forget why you’re able to sleep in today. And if you’re that bored by our absence here, you could always put your time to good use by calling some veterans you know and thanking them for their service, or volunteering somewhere that deals with veterans’ issues. I’m sure it would be appreciated.
So, on behalf of the Uproxx family, a sincere thanks to all those who have served or are currently serving. Take us home, Ray.

America, homeland of Allison Brie, Christina Hendricks, George Dickel Whiskey, the 12 gauge shotgun, real football, and awesomeness. It would take some truly impressive men to defend a nation as throughly impressive as this one. To such men, I give my appreciation
