Veterans Day 2023 at ABMC

Published October 20, 2023

This November, ABMC will commemorate Veterans Day throughout its cemeteries across the world to pay tribute to the men and women buried and memorialized at its sites.

With its unique presence in 17 countries worldwide, ABMC gives the opportunity to honor Veterans where they served, where they fell and where they forever rest in peace.

This year’s ceremonies will have a particular resonance as the Commission commemorates its centennial anniversary throughout 2023, representing 100 years of an unbroken promise to this nation, the fallen, their families, and fellow veterans, that they will not be forgotten.
