Veterans' Day will be commemorated in Alba Iulia on November 11, 2026, with a military and religious ceremony at the Veterans' Memorial. The event will include military honors, the national anthem, a religious service, and speeches. It aims to honor soldiers who served abroad, particularly remembering posthumous sub-lieutenant Vasile Claudiu Popa, who died in Afghanistan in 2013. He was buried with military honors and recognized as an Honorary Citizen of Alba Iulia. A street was named after him in 2023 to honor his sacrifice.
