As Groundhog day falls on a Saturday this year, VA has opted to declare Monday, February 4th, as an Agency holiday. In keeping with the mantra of issuing the same denials over and over again year-in and year-out, VA has always celebrated it.
Since this will also permit a lot of party-going RVSRs to recuperate and come in with a clear head on Tuesday, it was deemed a win-win strategy by no less that the Under Secretary herself- the illustrious Mrs. Allison Hickey.
