Santa Fe, State Capitol (490 Old Santa Fe Trail), Informational Booths: 8am-1pm followed by a ceremony at Noon in the Rotunda.

SANTA FE--Military & Veterans Day at the 2020 Legislature is this Saturday, January 25, at the State Capitol in downtown Santa Fe.

This is the annual day during the legislative session presented by the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services (DVS) and the New Mexico National Guard to honor active-duty service members and veterans. 

Every year, a segment of the military is also highlighted at a noon ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda. This year, the spotlight will be on former Prisoners of War (POW’s) and those still listed as Missing in Action (MIA).

The public is invited to join in this annual celebration of New Mexico’s service members and veterans—and to honor our nation’s former POW’s and current MIA’s. There will be informational tables from 8am-1pm in the east and west wings of the Rotunda staffed by the NM National Guard, DVS, veterans service organizations, and community service organizations.

Veterans and active-service personnel are also encouraged to meet their local legislators to discuss military and veterans’ issues--and watch the legislative process in action in the state Senate or House of Representatives chambers.
