We’re looking for potential events to cover that day.
Veterans Day, Nov. 11, is the anniversary of the armistice that ended World War I in 1918, and today honors all veterans. American Legion posts, districts and departments observe Veterans Day by participating in or hosting parades, luncheons, ceremonies and more.
With Veterans Day less than two months away, many American Legion posts are well into planning for various ceremonies and events. Once again, The American Legion National Media & Communications Division is looking for potential coverage opportunities.
If your post, district or department is hosting, sponsoring or participating in a Veterans Day event, please share it with us. Email sbrooks@legion.org with details that include the time, date, location and what the event will entail. We’ll be looking for events to cover in person; other events may be featured in an advance Veterans Day story and follow-up after the events have concluded.
Posts, districts and departments also are encouraged to share stories and photos of their Veterans Day events on Legiontown.
National Headquarters staff also is preparing a guideline Veterans Day speech available for download. Check back for a link when it becomes available.
