Veterans Day 2025

Veterans Day November 11, 2025 On November 11 each year, we pay tribute to those who served this nation as members of our armed forces. This holiday initially commemorated the end of World War I, which came at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. One year later, we celebrated the first Armistice Day, and it became a national holiday in 1938. In 1954, following World War II and the Korean War, President Eisenhower renamed it Veterans Day to honor and commemorate veterans of all wars. According to the U.S. Census, there are approximately 11,000 veterans in Boulder County. In addition to serving our country, veterans continue to play important roles in our workforce and make our communities healthy and strong. We sincerely value and appreciate their dedication and sacrifices. Furthermore, we pay homage to all those who have passed and who paid the ultimate price in their service. On Veterans Day, we recognize these courageous people and their service which protects the freedoms that are cornerstones of our democracy. We honor all people who have served, are currently serving, and will serve in the military in the future. We, the City Council of the City of Boulder, Colorado declare November 11, 2025, as

Veterans Day And encourage people to seek ways to give back and show gratitude for veterans in our community.
