City to Host Annual Veterans Day Ceremony

The community is invited to honor our local Veterans when the City of Pico Rivera hosts its annual Veterans Day Ceremony on Tuesday, November 11.

The event, which begins at 10:00 a.m., will be held at the Veterans’ Memorial and Eternal Flame on Mines Avenue between Rosemead Boulevard and Lindsey Avenue. Breakfast will be provided before the ceremony from 8:00 to 9:45 a.m.

The ceremony will be attended by federal, state, and local officials along with dozens of members of Pico Rivera’s Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion posts. The ceremony will begin with a special flyover and a guest speaker will address those in attendance, about the significance of Veterans Day.

“This is such an important event for our City, it’s our way of honoring and thanking the Veterans who have served our country,” said City Manager Steve Carmona. “We have a very strong Veteran community here, and we are proud to host this event each year to show our gratitude for their service and sacrifice,” said
Carmona.

Those unable to attend the ceremony in person will be able to watch a live stream on the City’s Facebook page. In addition, the event will be recorded for replay on CTV3 and the City’s YouTube page.
