Veterans Day

Join us in honoring those who have served at our Veterans Day Ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 11.


Our ceremony recognizes the dedication and sacrifice of our veterans — past and present — as we thank them for their service to our nation and our community.


Veterans Day honors all who have served in the military, including those currently serving, those who have served, and those we remember.


The ceremony will feature remarks from emcee and Navy veteran Bobby McDonald and a keynote address from retired Army Lt. Col. Barbara Gerovac, who served for 24 years including in Operation Just Cause in Panama in 1989-90.


We'll also enjoy inspiring performances by the Esperanza High School Vocal Ensemble, including a rendition of the "United States Armed Forces Medley."


The event begins at 11 a.m. at the Anaheim Veterans Monument, 241 S. Anaheim Blvd., in downtown Anaheim near the Muzeo Museum and Cultural Center.


Parking is available in the Anaheim City Hall structure off Broadway and in structures on Center Street Promenade.


We are grateful to all who have served and hope to see you on Veterans Day.
