HENDERSON, Nev. (July 27, 2026) — The City of Henderson is now accepting applications for Henderson Military veterans to be added to its Veterans Memorial Wall in conjunction with the City’s annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Nov. 7. 

The following are the six categories in which veterans may be honored on the Henderson Veterans Memorial Wall: 

• Korean War Veterans
• Deceased Veterans
• Vietnam Veterans
• Persian Gulf War Veterans
• Global War on Terror Veterans
• Veterans Killed in Action

Originally inscribed with 1,213 names, the Henderson Veterans Memorial Wall today bears the names of more than 2,000 veterans and soldiers who have served our country, standing adjacent to Henderson City Hall.

The deadline to submit a veteran’s name is Sept. 25 to allow time for nomination evaluation, approval and the engraving of names on the wall panels prior to the Veterans Day Ceremony.

To qualify, veterans must have been Henderson residents during a period of their service and documentation verifying the years of service (Form DD214) and residency must be submitted.
