Veterans Day Proclamation 2025

Next date: Monday, November 10, 2025 | 06:00 PM

Veterans Day, observed annually on November 11, honors the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The holiday’s origins trace back to November 11,1918, when the armistice ending World War I was signed, marking a moment of peace after years of conflict. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was renamed Veterans Day in 1954 to recognize and honor veterans of all wars and peacetime service.

This day serves as a heartfelt tribute to those who have defended our freedoms, often at great personal cost. It is also a reminder of our collective responsibility to support and stand beside those who have worn the uniform through access to healthcare, education, employment, and community resources.

Today, Veterans Day is both a celebration and a solemn reflection. It calls us to express gratitude, share the stories of service, and ensure that future generations remember the sacrifices made to protect our way of life. In Lynnwood, we join the nation in honoring our veterans, recognizing their enduring contributions, and reaffirming our commitment to a community where they are respected, supported, and valued.
