veteran's day

With Veterans Day tomorrow, Friday, November 11th, many will celebrate by thanking Veterans for their service, but the holiday is about more than just honoring our Veterans, it's about acknowledging the challenges they face.

This Friday, November 11th is Veterans Day, but the State Fair of Louisiana will honor Veterans this Sunday, November 13th with a special parade down the midway starting at 2pm.

Veterans Day is coming up Friday, November 11th and with the current focus on the Presidential election, Horseshoe Casino in Bossier City, LA wants to make sure that our Veterans aren't forgotten!

Orange shirts took over the Veterans Transitional Living Facility Nov. 10, as more than 100 Team Depot volunteers participated in Veterans Day projects, including landscaping, painting and building renovations.

Words can't express our gratitude to those who have and are currently serving. The sacrifices both you and your families have made don't go unnoticed. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, from everyone here at Kiss Country.

In an effort to recognize our local service men and women, Horseshoe Bossier City is reaching out with a big “Thank You”. The service and sacrifice by our Veterans is remembered and appreciated daily, but especially this Wednesday, November 11th, which is Veteran's Day, Horseshoe plans to take this appreciation a step further with a free buffet!

The staff at Margaritaville Resort Casino say they saw an amazing turnout for the complimentary lunch buffet for local military veterans.

I just don't have the words to convey to Veterans just how much we appreciate what they've done and continue to do to make America this greatest country on earth.

Everyday we should say thank you and show appreciation for our local active military and veterans in Kiss Country but today November 11th is the official day to show appreciation. There are approximately 21.2 million military vets in the U.S today. The Vietnam War has the most living veterans, with approximately 7.4 million and there are still about 1.6 million living World War Two vets. With that

Yesterday I had the privilege of speaking at one of the most incredible ceremonies I've ever attended.  It was the Veteran's Honor Ceremony at the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club at the Louisiana State Fairgrounds.

There are several events happening in Shreveport-Bossier to honor our military veterans this year for Veterans Day, which falls on Monday, November 11. Here are a few local events we know about right now. This list will be updated with more as they're confirmed...

Monday, November 11 is Veteran's Day all across this wonderful country, but this Sunday, November 10, it will be Veteran's Day at the State Fair of Louisiana.  The Caddo Parish Commission, Bossier Parish Police Jury, City of Shreveport and the city of Bossier City, along with local veterans' support organizations, invite the public to join in for the 2nd Annual Veteran's Day Celebration and Honor
