What Day Will Be the Federal Holiday?

The federal holiday will fall on the actual day this year. All federal government agencies will be closed to honor the day.

As you might know, I have two sons in the military and my Father was a WWII Veteran who fought with the Marines at Okinawa. I love our Veterans and hope you will honor them anytime you run across one. We are home to thousands of military folks from Barksdale Air Force Base right here in Shreveport Bossier.

Many area restaurants will throw open their doors to welcome active duty military personnel, veterans and retirees. If you are a veteran, you will probably have a hard time choosing which deals to select. There really are so many businesses paying tribute again this year. If you have a big appetite, you might want to take in a few of these freebies.
