HENDERSON, Nev. (Aug. 23, 2022) – The City of Henderson is accepting applications for Henderson military veterans to be added to its Veterans Memorial Wall. The names added this year will be unveiled during the city’s annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 5.
“Honoring our veterans is something we care deeply about as a city and why we established the Veterans Memorial Wall in the plaza adjacent to Henderson City Hall,” said
Mayor Debra March. “The Wall today bears the names of more than 1,850 Henderson veterans and soldiers who fought for our nation and defended the basic freedoms for which our country stands.”
Veterans are honored with a lasting tribute on the Henderson Veterans Memorial Wall in one of five categories:
Deceased Veterans
Vietnam Veterans
Persian Gulf War Veterans
Global War on Terror Veterans
Veterans Killed in Action
Eligible veterans must have been Henderson residents during a period of their service and documentation verifying their years of service and residency is required.
The deadline to submit a veteran’s name is Sept. 25, allowing time for nomination evaluation, approval and the engraving of names on the Wall panels prior to the Veterans Day Ceremony.
