A time to remember

This Memorial Day, fly your flag and remember those who served.  Supervisor Michael Antonovich's office tells us about events today at Arcadia County Park, 406 S. Santa Anita in Arcadia, starting at 10 AM:

The 12th Annual “Remembering Our Veterans and Their Families” event is a day-long tribute to our armed forces, and a presentation of free services to veterans and their families from numerous agencies, including County departments and governmental, independent and private agencies.  These organizations will provide an abundance of information and resources regarding health, employment, child support, legal services, etc. 

A special ceremony at 11:30 a.m. will include a presentation of colors, a 21 gun salute, playing of Taps, skydivers, flyovers by vintage World War II aircraft, and more.  There will also be a “Wall of Remembrance” for veterans (bring copies of photos of your loved ones to place on the wall), displays of military vehicles and equipment, a children’s area (face painting, arts and crafts, games and free popcorn), free tetanus vaccinations, free haircuts and manicures, food booths, live music, and more.  

For additional information, contact Cindy Duarte at (909) 394-2264 or (626) 967-1441.
