VA and the Veterans Day National Committee (VDNC) invite cities, towns, and non-profit groups across the county to join us showing appreciation for Veterans by applying to hold VA-recognized regional Veterans Day observances. Site applications are evaluated on and chosen based on the following criteria:
- The event is dedicated solely to honoring the men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces.
- The event is supported by, and open to participation by, Veterans service organization(s) that represent loyal service to the United States.
- The event is supported by city, county, town or municipal authorities (as applicable).
- The event is not a fundraiser and is free and open to the public.
If selected as an authorized regional site for an official Veterans Day event, regional site selectees will receive official Veterans Day posters, a certificate from the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and military ceremonial support (if available) from the Department of Defense (DoD).
If you would like your organization’s observance to be considered for regional site designation, please complete this application and submit via e-mail to vetsday@va.gov.
