Veterans Day

Veterans Day

November 11

In honor of Veterans Day, the National Constitution Center will recognize the dedication and sacrifices of the brave men and women who have answered the Constitution’s call to “provide for the common defense.”

Wreath Laying Ceremony
November 11, 11 – 11:30 a.m. EST, Front Lawn 

The Center will host its annual Veterans Day Wreath Laying Ceremony outdoors this year on the  front lawn, overlooking Independence Mall. Visitors can join us as we raise the American flag and play the national anthem, and then watch as veterans on staff and in our volunteer program lay a wreath in recognition of those who have served in the U.S. military.   

This non-contact experience is located outdoors, which allows ample space for social distancing.

Audience who are not able to join us at the museum can follow us at @constitutionctr on Veterans Day. 

Plus, download and return our “Thank-a-Vet” postcard to send a message to a veteran in the Philadelphia community.
