Military service and veteran recognition in Taiwan and China

Overview

Taiwan has initiated several programs to honor its military personnel for Military Appreciation Day. These efforts include a massive retail campaign titled “Protecting the Home, Glory Together,” involving over 700 brands and 22,000 outlets offering discounts to service members and their families. Cultural events such as the “2026 Clear Sky Season” at the Cultural Air Force Base and the “Hero’s Feast” exhibition at Taipei Station are also being held to strengthen connections between the public and the armed forces.

In a broader regional context of military recognition, China has highlighted the lives of decorated veterans who lived modestly following their service, such as those involved in historical reconnaissance aircraft shoot-downs or the Liberation War. Meanwhile, in Taiwan, local authorities in Chiayi City held ceremonies to honor individuals for their support of the military and to recognize the armed forces' role in disaster relief and typhoon recovery efforts.
