North Dakota Veterans Cemetery Honors Thousands Across Eight Wars

Veterans across the United States are being honored through a variety of ceremonies and traditions that celebrate their service and sacrifice. The North Dakota Veterans Cemetery serves as a solemn reminder of this commitment, with nearly 3,000 veterans interred there from eight wars, maintained with care and respect by dedicated staff. In New York, President George W. Bush paid tribute to veterans during a Veterans Day ceremony at the USS Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum, highlighting the vessel's historical significance in World War II and beyond. Meanwhile, Arlington National Cemetery held a remembrance ceremony specifically honoring over 210 military medics who lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan, recognizing their bravery in saving others under extreme conditions. Local communities also contribute to veteran recognition, such as Augusta Athletics hosting a special veteran’s night with ceremonies and participation from veterans’ groups emphasizing community support. Collectively, these events underscore the nation's ongoing commitment to remembering and thanking those who have served in the armed forces.
