Veterans Memorial Honorees

Veterans Honored at the City's Veterans Memorial at Diamond Stadium

Seals of Military Branches

The City hosts an Annual Veterans Day Observance Ceremony annually to honor our Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine, and Navy veterans. Unfortunately, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to host this year's ceremony. In its place, we created a space where all our honorees can be seen.

Thank you to all of our veterans who served to protect our precious liberties!

If you would like to view last year's ceremony, visit this page. You can also view the gallery for the Veterans Day Observance Ceremony here. 

Below you can find the names and branch served of each honoree that is displayed at the City's custom Veterans Memorial located at Diamond Stadium.
