Veterans Day

Obama touches on veterans employment during Veterans Day ceremony attended by American Legion National Commander James Koutz at Arlington National Cemetery.
We must always be grateful for the dedication and accomplishments of the men and women among us who've worn the uniform of our country.

For Veterans Day weekend, 398 national parks are honoring veterans and servicemembers with free admission.

Since the armistice that ended World War I on Nov. 11, 1918, Veterans Day has stood as an opportunity for the United States, as both a nation and its citizens, to pause and honor American veterans of all wars – and thus a day very close to The American Legion's heart and mission.
