VETERANS DAY
ON THE ROCKS
Presented by The 803 Project
Why We Do This
Because One Day Is Not Enough
Veterans Day On The Rocks is the launchpad for a national petition to honor our veterans on the 11th of every month -- not just November.
"The veteran is the one who raises the flag, not for applause, but because it means something."
01
THEY SERVED EVERY DAY
Rain or shine. Holidays and birthdays missed. Sleepless nights in places most Americans will never see. Our veterans did not serve once a year. They served every single day. It is time our gratitude matches their sacrifice.
02
MORE THAN A CEREMONY
Veterans Day On The Rocks is not a parade you watch from the sidewalk. It is a full-day experience of live music, storytelling, and community. Where veterans are not just honored but celebrated, seen, and heard.
03
EVERY BRANCH. EVERY ERA.
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Space Force. From WWII to Afghanistan. Whether they served 2 years or 30, every veteran carries a story that deserves to be told.
The Reality Our Veterans Face
Our Turn to Fight for Them
After the uniform comes off, too many veterans face isolation, joblessness, and a society that moves on. A monthly day of recognition keeps them visible and valued.

Veterans lost to suicide. Many feel unseen after service ends.
1 DAY
Of official national recognition per year for decades of sacrifice
"After I came home, the hardest part was not the injuries. It was feeling like nobody remembered what we gave up over there."
-- U.S. Army Veteran, 3 Tours
"My grandfather served in Korea. My father in Vietnam. I served in Iraq. All three of us were forgotten the day after Veterans Day. That has to change."
-- U.S. Marine, 12 Years of Service

HONOR THE 11TH GOES NATIONAL

America's 250th Anniversary
250 Years of Freedom
In 2026, the United States celebrates its 250th birthday. From the Revolutionary War to the Global War on Terror, every generation of Americans has produced men and women willing to sacrifice everything for the freedoms we enjoy.
Veterans Day On The Rocks is timed to align with this once-in-a-lifetime milestone -- connecting the founding spirit of 1776 to every veteran who has defended it since.
