National Invest In Veterans Week® Establishes International Veterans Day and Deepens Federal, State, and Civic Integration

In a landmark expansion of its mission, National Invest In Veterans Week® has established International Veterans Day, first celebrated on March 3, 2025. Introduced in 2024 and embraced by The American Legion Sauls-Bridges Post 13, the observance honors the global unity and shared values of military service across borders. March 3rd now stands as a day to recognize the interconnected contributions of veterans worldwide—marking a civic milestone in transnational veteran recognition.

This global initiative arrives as National Invest In Veterans Week® continues its upward trajectory—from social media recognition and state-level proclamations to formal citations in the Congressional Record. What began as a grassroots movement in 2019 is now a federally trademarked civic framework embedded in national and international discourse.

This is not just a week of recognition. It is a durable, institutional platform redefining how the world invests in those who served.
