Military Veterans, National Guard/Reserve members, and active service members will be honored at the State Capitol in Santa Fe on Feb. 20 on Military and Veterans Day at the 2023 Legislature.

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

The day will feature informational tables staffed by DVS, NMNG, the New Mexico VA Health Care System, VA’s Veterans Benefits Administration Albuquerque office, veterans groups, and community service organizations in the east and west wings of the Rotunda. Wrapping up the day will be a noon ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda honoring current and former service members.

Veterans, active service members, their families, and the public are invited to stop by the Capitol to learn more about New Mexico’s military community. Military & Veterans Day at the 2023 Legislature is also a great opportunity for veterans and service members to meet with their local legislators and their staff to talk about any legislative matters of importance.
