The Veterans Wall of Freedom Organization and the Foundation of Grand Terrace are proud to announce that the Veterans Day Celebration at the Veterans Wall of Freedom will take place on Monday, November 11, at 11:00 a.m. in the Veterans Freedom Park, 21950 Pico Street, in Grand Terrace, California.
The Veterans Day Celebration will salute veterans who have served or are serving in the United States military. It will also be a celebration of the freedoms we enjoy today because of the service and sacrifice of these veterans.
Bill Hussey, United States Marine Corps veteran Sergeant, will be the keynote speaker. Activities, including music, will be held during the celebration to honor veterans.
The Veterans Wall of Freedom was dedicated on Veterans Day 2016. The monument spells out the word FREEDOM in six-foot block letters with over 1600 granite plaque spaces for veterans covering the front of the letters. Thirteen stripes, seven in subdued red and six in white, lead to the monument.
Veterans and their families will have an opportunity to reserve a plaque on the Veterans Wall of Freedom as a long-lasting honor of the veteran’s service to our country both before and after the ceremony. All veterans of the United States military are eligible for a plaque.
