26th Annual Veterans Day Celebration
We were honored to recognize local Veterans during our 26th Annual Veterans Day Celebration on Nov. 11 in Old Town.
During our Ceremony, we shared our Salute to Victorville Veterans and a video of seven City of Victorville employees telling their military stories. You can view the videos at VictorvilleCA.gov/VeteransDay.
