Honoring All Who Served: Veterans Day 2026

Behind every veteran is a story of service, sacrifice, and commitment to something greater than oneself. On November 11, 2026, The Varnett Public School joins our nation in honoring America’s approximately 15.7 million living veterans, as reported in the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2025 estimates, and remembering all veterans who have passed away.

This tribute carries special meaning during the 250th anniversary year of the Declaration of Independence, adopted on July 4, 1776. As we reflect on its enduring ideals of liberty and equality, we recognize generations of veterans whose service has helped protect our nation.

To the veterans among our staff, families, and neighbors: thank you. Whether you served during war or peace, your dedication deserves our gratitude. We also honor the memory of those no longer with us and the families who carry their stories forward.

We encourage our Varnett community to thank a veteran, listen to their experiences, and help our students understand the meaning of service.

Your service. Our gratitude. Always.
