The Veterans Day challenge never showed up on my watch, and I didn't get the badge even though I logged the required workout.

I did get the badge each of the previous four years.

I got mine the day of, but in the past, I've had to wait up to a week for them to show up, and sometimes they never do.
 
I would do it, but I’m not in the US and it’s US-exclusive. If you don’t see the badge, reboot your watch, it should be there after a few minutes

I'm in Japan, but that's never kept me from getting the Veterans Day badge before.

I wonder if Apple made it US-exclusive this year.

Strange, I achieved all the special challenges i. the past 3 years and I’ve never been able to get the veteran day challenge
I should add/clarify that my Apple ID is tied to a US account. (Though that didn't keep me from also earning the Japan-only Health and Sports Day Challenge badge.)

Could it be tied to language? Like it shows if your language is set to US English?
Good question, but I don't think that is why I didn't get it. I do switch the phone between English and Japanese as needed. However, for several days leading up to Veterans Day, as well as the day itself, the phone was set to English.

I'm also in Japan, but I got mine.
Good to hear. I guess it was just a glitch with my phone. The badge probably won't ever show up for me, but at least I now know it was working for some.
