## 🇺🇸 **HONORING THOSE WHO SERVED | VETERANS DAY 2026** 🇺🇸
Join the **Acadiana Veteran Alliance (AVA)** on **Wednesday, November 11th, at 9:00 AM** at the Veterans Memorial in Moncus Park as we come together to honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication of the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform. Veterans Day is more than a date on the calendar, it’s an opportunity for our community to pause, reflect, and express our gratitude to those who answered the call to serve. We invite veterans, military families, community leaders, and residents from across Acadiana to stand together in recognition of America’s heroes.
At AVA, our commitment to veterans extends far beyond Veterans Day. Every day, we work to ensure those who served have access to meaningful careers, critical resources, supportive communities, and opportunities to thrive right here in Louisiana. This November 11th, we invite you to join us for a special morning of patriotism, remembrance, and community as we celebrate the extraordinary individuals who have defended our freedoms.
**Bring your family, invite a veteran, and help us show that Acadiana never forgets those who served.** 🇺🇸
