DVS News:
SANTA FE – Military Veterans, National Guard/Reserve members and active service members will be honored at the State Capitol in Santa Fe on Military and Veterans Day at the 2023 Legislature Monday, Feb. 20.
This annual day during the legislative session is presented by the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services (DVS) and the New Mexico National Guard to honor active-duty service members and veterans for their sacrifice and service for our country.
The day will feature informational tables staffed by DVS, NMNG, the New Mexico VA Health Care System, VA’s Veterans Benefits Administration Albuquerque office, veterans groups and community service organizations in the east and west wings of the Rotunda.
Wrapping up the day will be a noon ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda honoring current and former service members.
Veterans, active service members, their families, and the public are invited to stop by the Capitol to learn more about New Mexico’s military community.
Military & Veterans Day at the 2023 Legislature also is a great opportunity for veterans and service members to meet with local legislators and staff to talk about any legislative matters of importance.
Very Limited Space Available for Informational Tables
Due to new regulations, there is a limited number of informational table space available this year for interested veterans service agencies or community service organizations.
DVS is asking interested organizations to email a table request to DVS Event Coordinator Joseph Dorn at joseph.dorn@dvs.nm.gov by Jan. 31. DVS will conduct a random drawing on Feb. 1 to fill the remaining table spaces. Successfully drawn organizations will be notified by email. No phone reservations will be accepted.
