National Veterans Awareness Week is November 9-15th |
National Veterans Awareness Week and Veteran's Day provide an opportunity to honor our nation's veterans and military service members. Citizen Corps Affiliates, the American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary, will be hosting events in their communities to pay tribute to those that have served our nation. Citizen Corps encourages everyone to contact their State and local Legion Posts and Legion Auxiliary Units to become involved in Veteran's Day Activities. The American Legion membership annually reaffirms their Citizen Corps Affiliation through passing a resolution at their National Convention.
