Veterans Day – U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs

Each year, the National Veterans Day Committee publishes a commemorative Veterans Day poster. The committee selects a poster from works of art submitted by artists from across the country. Over the years, these posters have illustrated the rich history of our nation’s military. The poster reflects our pride and patriotism in saluting veterans while providing the thematic artistry for the year.

The theme for Veterans Day 2024 is “A Legacy of Loyalty and Service,” and this year’s winning poster was designed by Myisha Godette, a retired, disabled Army veteran from Queens, New York.

Myisha’s design was driven by a desire to represent all who have served. “As a veteran, I have felt underrepresented at times, which has prompted me to consider the best way to integrate inclusivity and the essence of loyalty and service,” she said. “Ultimately, I chose to symbolize the shared experience of military personnel – past, present and future – with elements such as the American flag, military dog ​​tags and the enduring strength of veterans, embodied by a solid, dark concrete backdrop in my design.”

The Veterans Day 2024 poster will be displayed at VA facilities, military installations and municipal buildings across America. It will also serve as the cover for the official Veterans Day commemoration program at Arlington National Cemetery on November 11.
