Veterans Day Regional Sites

Each year, the Veterans Day National Committee recognizes select Veterans Day observances throughout the country that represent fitting tributes to America’s heroes. From stirring parades and ceremonies to military exhibits and tributes to distinguished veterans, these events serve as models for other communities to follow in planning their own observances. Each site is recognized by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and may receive military support from the Department of Defense when available.
