Missed Holidays while on Intl Travel

Last year I did a fair amount of international travel for my employer (~120 days). As a result, I was abroad and working for 8 of the 9 published US holidays in our employee handbook. When I asked for days off to compensate for working on Thanksgiving/July 4/Labor Day, etc., my boss agreed that I should be able to take them, but HR did not, saying that would not "comp" time - the same as they did not comp time if you worked on a weekend. However, the employee handbook states that US employees are entitled to 9 paid holidays annually. Am I entitled to compensation?
