Veterans Day Regional Sites for 2023

Every year, the Veterans Day National Committee, which consists of members from about 50 organizations serving America’s Veterans, organizes the main Veterans Day event at Arlington National Cemetery. The event on November 11 will commence at 11:00 a.m. with a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, followed by a parade and speeches in the Memorial Amphitheater.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) urges local communities and non-profits to conduct VA-endorsed Veterans Day ceremonies. This year, 66 such recognized events will take place across 34 states and the District of Columbia. Approved regional sites are provided with official posters, ceremonial military support from the U.S. Department of Defense, and a certificate from the VA Secretary for their official program.
