Governor’s Flag Order in Observation of Veterans Day

Pursuant to §2.2-3310.1 of the Code of Virginia, I hereby order that the POW/MIA flag be displayed on agencies and institutions of the Commonwealth on Veterans Day, Wednesday, November 11, 2026, in honor and remembrance of the service and sacrifice of members of the United States Armed Forces who are or were prisoners of war or reported missing in action.

On Veterans Day, we pause to honor the generations of men and women who have answered the call to serve and protect the promise of our nation. As we reflect on their sacrifices, we must never forget the service members who are or were prisoners of war or reported missing in action. Their service reminds us that the cost of freedom extends far beyond the battlefield, touching families who have endured uncertainty, loss, and the enduring hope of bringing their loved ones home. On this day, we renew our solemn promise to honor these heroes and remain steadfast in our commitment to a full accounting of every American who has not returned home.

I hereby order that the POW/MIA flag shall be flown on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Ordered on this, the 10th day of November 2026.

Sincerely,

Abigail D. Spanberger
