Sentinel staff report–
American Legion Post 637 will host its annual Veterans Day ceremony at Sylvan Cemetery on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m.
The cemetery, located at 7401 Auburn Blvd. in Citrus Heights, includes the graves of around 1,400 veterans. The ceremony will be honoring all men and women who have served in the military since 1775, according to organizer Jim Monteton.
An event flier says patriotic songs will be presented by the Folsom Harmony Express men’s choir. Folding chairs will be available for those who need them.
Nov. 11 is a federal holiday, celebrating all those who have fought in the military. The holiday originated as a celebration of the end of World War 1 and differs with Memorial Day, which honors those who have fallen in battle.
City Hall and Sylvan Library, and the San Juan Unified School District schools will be closed on Veterans Day.
