Hermosa Beach Veterans Day Commemoration -

Description

This Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11th , marks the Twentieth Veterans Day Commemoration since the establishment of the Hermosa Beach Veterans Memorial.

The Memorial was conceived, built and is maintained by veterans, both Hermosa Citizens and those of the greater South Bay. The Memorial was funded entirely by private donations and is proudly located in front of our Community Center. 

The program begins at 5:30 in the evening and concludes with the popular candle lighting ceremony. This year's featured speaker is Mr. Ray Frew, CEO of Green Hills Memorial Park of Rancho Palos Verdes. He is a veteran and a great supporter of our military.

Each year at the annual Veterans Day Ceremony, a new Hermosa Beach resident is introduced, someone with a son or daughter, brother or sister, niece, nephew or friend serving in the military. The ceremony also includes many citizens who look forward each year to this local event and opportunity to show respect to those who serve or have served our Nation in uniform, especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
