Friday November 11th is Veterans Day.
The Pasadena's Veterans Day Committee hosts a commemoration on the steps of City Hall (100 North Garfield Avenue in Pasadena) beginning at 10:30am.
This is always a very nice ceremony honoring our veterans.
The ceremony’s featured speaker is Colonel Quintin D. Jones, commanding officer of 23d Marine Regiment in San Bruno, CA. Colonel Jones is a native of Memphis, TN, and has commanded units at every level from platoon to regiment. Mayor Victor M. Gordo will also give remarks. The Blair High School band will play the anthems of each branch of the armed forces, and Blair’s Junior ROTC will provide the color guard. In a tribute to Gold Star families in attendance, Pasadena Scottish Pipes & Drums will play "Amazing Grace."
