Public Opportunity to Honor Our Troops
This year, the celebration of Veteran’s Day in Long Beach, California will offer the public a special, personal way to honor our troops.
At the conclusion of the twelfth annual Long Beach Veterans Day Parade, members of the public are invited to follow the veterans along their route in the first “Freedom Walk in Support of Our Troops.” The Freedom Walk, arranged in conjunction with the Long Beach Veterans Day Committee, gives the public an opportunity to express its appreciation for the service of our troops. It is an event that will unify all participants as they remember the men and women who risk their lives daily to protect the freedoms that we enjoy. Everyone is invited to join the Freedom Walk, and individuals, teams, and groups are encouraged to take part.
The Freedom Walk experience—a way for each of us to not only show support for our troops but to more deeply connect with the liberties that we value so highly.
