SHREVEPORT, LA - Veteran's Day falls on a Saturday this year and it will be a great day to honor our veterans and military personnel.

When is the federal holiday this year? Well the federal rule is if November 11 happens on a Sunday, then the following Monday is the Federal holiday. If November 11 falls on a Saturday like it does this year, then the government may designate either Saturday or Friday. The 2023 federal observation date is Friday, November 10, 2023.
