2026 Veterans Day Ceremony
Informational Release
October 28, 2026
The Gerald B. H. Solomon Saratoga National Cemetery announces its Veterans Day Ceremony to be held Wednesday, November 11th, 11:00 am. The ceremony will be held at the Flagpole Assembly Area.
Veterans Day commemorates the end of World War I. It was the 11th month, 11th day and at the 11th hour in 1918 that an armistice with Germany was recognized. Originally called Armistice Day, it was in 1954 when then President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the name to Veterans Day to honor all U.S. Military Veterans.
This Veterans Day, Saratoga National Cemetery is truly honored to have as keynote speaker, Erwin (Dom) Dominguez, Service Chief for the Center for Development and Civic Engagement at the Albany Stratton VA Medical Center.
Incorporating over 20 years of military service in the U.S. Marine Corps and Army National Guard into his position as Service Chief at the Albany VA Medical Center has proved invaluable. Dominguez is recognized as a leader in connecting veterans with available resources and programs, addressing veteran housing, employment and wellness needs while promoting and encouraging volunteers to support VA services throughout their communities.
Mark this event on your calendar and spend this Veterans Day shaking hands and saying thank you to our Veterans in person.
Plenty of public and special needs parking as well as seating. Dress accordingly as this is an outdoor event.
