Celebrating Service, Sacrifice, and Strength

This Veterans Day, we unite as one Marianas community to honor the brave men and women who have served our country.

We also reflect on the  extraordinary sacrifices our veterans have made to defend our freedoms and to protect our nation.  Their courage and dedication inspire us daily, reminding us that honoring them means more than remembering—it’s about supporting their well-being, opportunities, and future.

Governor Palacios and Lt. Governor Apatang encourage everyone in the CNMI to take this day to remember, salute, and thank our heroes. 

To those currently serving, the CNMI community is behind you, sending strength and prayers for your safety. . Thank you, Si Yuus Maase, and Ghilisow for your selfless service.

Happy Veterans Day!

Office of CNMI Governor and Lt. Governor
