In Murrieta, a city in Riverside County, California, the 24th annual Veterans Day Parade stepped off at 10 a.m. on November 11, starting at Washington Avenue and Ivy Street and ending at Town Square Park, beside the 18th annual Field of Honor, where 2,026 full-size U.S. flags will remain on display through November 15.
The City of Murrieta's calendar bills the parade as the city's annual Veterans Day tradition, inviting residents to line the route in red, white and blue to salute local veterans.
The Field of Honor is presented by the Rotary Clubs of Murrieta and Old Town Temecula in partnership with the City of Murrieta. Its 2,026 flags are available for dedication to service members, law enforcement officers, firefighters, other first responders and personal heroes. The display also includes sections for Medal of Honor recipients, 'Local Heroes' from Riverside and San Bernardino counties who have died in service since 2003, a 9/11 memorial rock garden and a patriotic chalk walk, and it is free and open to all.
