The City of Miramar will honor veterans with a special ceremony at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 11, in observance of Veterans Day.
The Miramar Veterans Day Ceremony at Veterans Memorial Park will feature the honor guard presentation of colors, refreshments and guest speakers.
Mayor Wayne M. Messam, the city commission and community leaders will pay tribute to Miramar’s veterans in a “moving morning of remembrance and gratitude,” according to a news release from the city.
The city has already begun to honor local veterans by presenting them with miniature versions of flag pole banners featuring their face and their service. At the commission meeting on Nov. 5, the city unveiled its Veteran Banner Recognition Program with 20 recipients receiving personalized banners.
The banners will be displayed at the 9/11 & Veterans Memorial at Miramar Regional Park and Veterans Memorial Park. The city also announced a program allowing veterans residing in Miramar free access to parks. The Miramar Veterans Program (MVP) Park Access Pass will offer park entry, swimming classes, tennis court rentals, fitness and some waived recreation program fees.
“Veterans Day is a time for our community to come together in gratitude,” Messam said in the news release.
“These banners and our annual ceremonies remind us that Miramar’s heroes are never forgotten. We are proud to celebrate their service not just today, but every year.”
City offices will be closed for the Veterans Day holiday.
