Veterans Day Ceremony

By Ulises Cabrerra, Moreno Valley City Mayor
November 5, 2024 at 11:26am. Views: 356

Next Monday is Veterans Day, and I’m incredibly proud of our City’s deep military roots. Many veterans and military families call Moreno Valley home, and with March Air Reserve Base right in our backyard, our community knows the true meaning of service and sacrifice.

 

To help us honor our veterans, please join me, the City Council, and some very special guests at this year’s Veterans Day Ceremony on Monday, November 11 at 11:00 a.m. at the Moreno Valley Veterans Memorial at the Civic Center. 

Dedicated in 2007, Moreno Valley’s Veterans Memorial features the "Fallen Soldier" statue by Richard Rist, symbolizing the ultimate sacrifice. Surrounding the statue are granite panels engraved with the names of our fallen soldiers, as well as a peaceful rose garden and olive trees, adding to the beauty and serenity of this special place.

 

Our Military Appreciation Banner Program provides the opportunity to recognize local service members actively serving and show our appreciation. We also have the Veterans Memorial Paver Program, where you can have a paver inscribed to honor a loved one who served and sacrificed for all of us.

 

I look forward to seeing you at the Veterans Day Ceremony on the 11th, and I’m grateful for the unity and respect our City shows our heroes every day.

 

Thank you, Moreno Valley, for being a community that never forgets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

El próximo lunes es el Día de los Veteranos y estoy increíblemente orgulloso de las profundas raíces militares de nuestra ciudad. Muchos veteranos y familias de militares consideran a Moreno Valley su hogar, y con la Base de la Reserva Aérea March justo en nuestro patio trasero, nuestra comunidad conoce el verdadero significado del servicio y el sacrificio.

 

Para ayudarnos a honrar a nuestros veteranos, por favor acompáñenme a mí, al Concejo Municipal y a algunos invitados muy especiales en la ceremonia del Día de los Veteranos de este año el lunes 11 de noviembre a las 11:00 a.m. en el Monumento a los Veteranos del Valle Moreno en el Centro Cívico.

 

Dedicado en 2007, el Monumento a los Veteranos de Moreno Valley presenta la estatua del "Soldado Caído" de Richard Rist, que simboliza el sacrificio supremo. Alrededor de la estatua hay paneles de granito grabados con los nombres de nuestros soldados caídos, así como un tranquilo jardín de rosas y olivos, que contribuyen a la belleza y serenidad de este lugar especial.

 

Nuestro Programa de letrero de agradecimiento militar brinda la oportunidad de reconocer a los miembros del servicio local que sirven activamente y mostrar nuestro agradecimiento. 

También tenemos el Programa de Adoquines Conmemorativos para Veteranos, donde puede inscribir un adoquín en honor a un ser querido que sirvió y se sacrificó por todos nosotros.

 

Espero verlos en la Ceremonia del Día de los Veteranos el día 11 y estoy agradecido por la unidad y el respeto que nuestra Ciudad muestra a nuestros héroes todos los días.

 

Gracias Moreno Valley por ser una comunidad que nunca olvida.
