About the Veteran's Day 2023 Doodle
Today’s hand-crafted, annual Veterans Day Doodle was created by Puerto Rican guest artist Lindsay “Bones” Cordero, U.S. Air Force veteran and mental health advocate. The Doodle artwork focuses on the importance of peer-to-peer support across the veteran community, representing individuals from each branch of the military and across the five generations of living veterans today.
