Lake Elsinore will honor veterans during its annual Veterans Day observance ceremony Nov. 11 at 9 a.m. at Diamond Stadium, 500 Diamond Drive.
The city invites residents to attend the event to recognize veterans and thank them for their service.
The city’s Veterans Memorial is located at the stadium’s main entrance and was unveiled in 2014 to honor those who have served.Â
The memorial includes a custom granite monument depicting a soldier in front of a fallen soldier’s battlefield grave, marked by a rifle, helmet, dog tags and boots.​​ There are also five granite pedestals bearing the insignias of the military branches.Â
The memorial also features engraved bricks honoring individual veterans with details such as their names, ranks and branches of service.
In addition to local observances, veterans can ride public transportation for free on Veterans Day through the Riverside Transit Agency.
The offer applies to local and CommuterLink buses, GoMicro services and Dial-A-Ride. Veterans must present an eligible form of identification, such as a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ID, a California driver’s license or identification card with a veteran designation, a retired uniformed services ID or an RTA-issued veteran ID. RTA buses will operate on regular weekday schedules Nov. 11.
