Irvine Honors All Who Served

Veterans Day is a time to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and commitment to serve and sacrifice for the common good. In honor of our veterans and in support of their families, the City of Irvine is hosting a special Veterans Day ceremony on Friday, Nov. 11, from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in the formal garden area at Colonel Bill Barber Marine Corps Memorial Park.

The ceremony will pay tribute to our nation’s troops – past and present – and honor local veterans, veterans groups and military organizations. The public is invited to attend.

In the event of inclement weather, the Veterans Day Ceremony will move to the Irvine Civic Center, located adjacent to the park. For more information, call 949-724-6606.
