What is the official name of the amphitheater where Arlington’s National Veterans Day Observance is held?

The story behind the answer

Arlington’s National Veterans Day Observance is held at the Memorial Amphitheater.

The Memorial Amphitheater is a ceremonial venue within Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Dedicated in 1920, it was designed for national commemorations, memorial services, and ceremonies honoring American service members.

The amphitheater stands near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and has become one of Arlington’s best-known ceremonial spaces. Its setting connects Veterans Day with the cemetery’s wider history of national remembrance.

The venue hosts more than one annual observance. Memorial Day and other military-related ceremonies also take place there, so the building’s name should not be confused with the title of the Veterans Day event itself. The formal Veterans Day program is the National Veterans Day Observance.
