SANTA FE — Military Veterans, National Guard members, reservists and active-duty service members will be honored at the 2025 Military & Veterans Day at the Legislature on Feb. 19 at the New Mexico State Capitol.
A noon ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda will honor New Mexico’s enduring military legacy, recognizing the families of past, present and future service members.
Presented by the New Mexico Department of Veterans’ Services and the New Mexico National Guard, this annual event recognizes the service and sacrifice of New Mexico’s military community.
This year’s theme, “Enduring Legacy,” highlights the lasting impact of military service across generations. Throughout the day, informational tables from Department of Veterans’ Services, New Mexico National Guard, the Veterans Administration, and various Veterans and community service organizations will be available in the east and west wings of the Rotunda.
