Veterans Day 2020: Honoring America’s Veterans

Today the United States celebrates the 67th anniversary of Veterans Day to honor the men and women who have served and continue to serve in the US military service.

In the past, every year at 11AM Eastern Time on November 11, a color guard with members from all US military services, gave honor to our war dead at the Tomb of the Unknowns in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC.

Due to the COVID pandemic, the ceremony is changed this year.

The Honorable Robert Wilkie, US Secretary of Veterans Affairs, will lay a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in recognition and commemoration of the veterans who have served in the U.S. military services.

A livestream of the wreath ceremony will be available to the public beginning at 11:00AM Eastern Time (conversion to your time zone).

Thank you to our veterans.
