Gearing up for Veterans Day

A long time ago, Artesia recognized Veterans Day by closing facilities on the day itself.  For the last 10 years, Artesia has proudly been building up its Veterans Day event, and it is now one of the biggest regional Veterans Day ceremonies/events.

On November 7, the Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force will be showing up in force to make the day a memorable one.  Various veterans groups and military vehicle clubs will also be at hand to give information about their services, or about their wares.

Also this year, Assistant Adjutant General of the California National Guard, Mary J. Kight, will be the guest speaker.

Join us as we honor the men and women who served in the U.S. military, on November 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  Ceremony begins at 11 a.m., at Artesia Park, 18750 Clarkdale Avenue.

If you're a veteran, and have not yet been recognized by the City of Artesia, please call (562) 865-6262.  The city is proud to recognize all U.S. military veterans, regardless of the city they reside in.
