The Veterans Day National Ceremony is held each year on November 11th at Arlington National Cemetery. The ceremony commences today at 11:00 a.m. EST with a wreath laying at the Tomb of the Unknowns and continues inside the Memorial Amphitheater with a parade of colors by Veterans’ organizations and remarks from dignitaries. The ceremony is intended to honor and thank all who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Please do not forget our immigrant veterans.  As of 2019, “nearly 900,000 immigrants are either veterans or active-duty service members of the U.S. Armed Forces.”
