Gwinnett County will hold its annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at 11 a.m. The event has been moved indoors to the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center Auditorium at 75 Langley Drive in Lawrenceville due to cold temperatures. Attendees are asked to enter from the front of the building rather than through the parking deck entrance.
Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson will lead the ceremony, which honors those who have served in the military. Commissioner Kirkland Carden and Commissioner Jasper Watkins will also provide remarks. The keynote address will be delivered by Deputy Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Veterans Service and Retired Army Sgt. Maj. Kerry Dyer.
Following the ceremony, Chairwoman Hendrickson’s Stand Down event will offer resources and services for veterans and their families.
