VA apologizes for misprinted calendars showing wrong date for MLK Day
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has apologized for misprinting calendars showing Martin Luther King Jr. Day on the wrong date.
According to NBC15 in Madison, Wis., the VA issued a health planner that showed the national holiday occurring on Jan. 28, a week after it will actually be recognized.
VA spokesman Matthew Gowan said officials are “actively working” to fix the misprint.
{mosads}”We apologize for the mistake that was included in the 2019 health planner and we’re actively working with the government publishing office to correct the error. For clarification – our facilities will be open on January 28, 2019 but will be closed as we celebrate the life and achievements of Martin Luther King Jr. on January 21,” he said in a statement to NBC15.
The misprinted calendars were reportedly handed out at several VA facilities in Wisconsin and Illinois.
The holiday is observed on the third Monday in January each year.
