Mayor John Whitmire invites the public to honor the brave men and women who have fought and sacrificed for our liberty and freedom by attending the City of Houston Veterans Day Parade and Program on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

Texas has the largest veteran population in the nation, with over 250,000 veterans residing there. The City is proud to pay tribute to our men and women in the military by providing an annual "Houston Salutes American Heroes Veterans Day Celebration." Mayor Whitmire welcomes Sgt. Major Angela Maness, U.S. Marine Corps, Retired, as the keynote speaker.

Sgt Major Maness has spent 30 years as an active-duty Marine and served as an Administrator, Drill Instructor, Range Coach and she trained candidates at Officer Candidate School in Quantico, VA. She served in multiple combat deployments in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Her numerous honors include the Legion of Merit, Meritorious Service medal, Navy Commendation medal and the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement medal.

The traditional Veterans Day Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at 10 a.m. with acknowledgements and the keynote address from Sgt. Major Maness. At the 11th hour on the 11th day, there will be a Moment of Silence in memory of the signing of the Armistice, which ended WWI.
