The Arizona Republic is honoring the brave people who have served their country in the U.S. Armed Forces in commemoration of Veterans Day 2025.

With Luke Air Force Base and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona, many families across the state have ties to the Armed Forces — from World War II to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The Republic compiled the photos of veterans from readers into a gallery. The photos include veterans who died during service, pilots buried at Arlington National Cemetery and U-2 pilots who flew over Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Readers can still submit photos to readerphotos.azcentral.com . Photos of your veterans could be mug shots, family photos or gravestones. We'll put them in the gallery.
