NABVETS National Programs
Day of Honor
The National Day of Honor is an act of respect and outreach to the African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, Pacific Islander and Native American communities. It gives a measure of balance to the incomplete and at times distorted view of who the heroes of yesteryear were and to whom this country owes gratitude for the world shaping outcomes of World War II.
On May 25, 2000, the United States Congress passed the resolution for the National Day of Honor for African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, Pacific Islander and Native American WWII veterans. In addition, President Bill Clinton signed The Day of Honor 2000 Proclamation.
The roots of the Day of Honor initiative are in two bipartisan, nonprofit organizations, the National Association for Black Veterans, Inc. (NABVETS) and Pupil of the Eye: Vision for Unity in Education, Inc.
