President Obama will not be spending Veteran’s Day at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska. Instead, his stop at Elmendorf prior to his trip to Asia was pushed to Thursday. The president will spend Veteran’s Day at Fort Hood, Texas.
Airmen at Elmendorf don’t seem to mind. First, the airmen I spoke to obviously understood why the president wanted to spend some extra time at the base struck by last week’s tragedy. Also, because Obama pushed his trip back a day, many airmen will get Veteran’s Day off. Before, Wednesday was an all hands day for all units.
