    Veterans Day 2023 is on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023.

    As a federal holiday, Veterans Day is typically observed on Nov. 11 every year. However, if it occurs on a Sunday then the federal government designates the following Monday as the Federal holiday. If Nov. 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, Nov. 10, 2023.

    Thanks to all past and present Veterans for you service and dedication to country!

    We took a ride to visit my inlaws, interned at the National Cemetery in Bourne, on Cape Cod.

    Being Veteran's Day, there were flags galore. The only other time the gravestones get flagged, is Memorial Day.
