The town of Caguas held a Veterans Day tribute on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at the Roger L. Mendoza Vidal Coliseum to honor those who have served in the Armed Forces. Mayor William Miranda Torres said hosting the event was an honor and recalled the legacy of his father, who also served in the military and was recognized during the ceremony.

"Es más que un honor tener esta actividad acá en nuestra ciudad, con motivo del Día de los Veteranos, y reconocer este trabajo, ese compromiso y la lucha por la libertad," Miranda Torres said, calling the event more than an honor for the city. Arturo Garffer, secretary of the Department of Public Safety (DSP), emphasized the importance of recognizing the sacrifice of those who choose to serve the nation.

Garffer said family support is the key piece that allows soldiers and veterans to carry out their mission day after day.
