Our nation is once again reminded of the tremendous sacrifices endured to ensure our freedom.
Join us on November 9th as we pay tribute to our veterans.
Daisy Mountain Veterans is an alliance of the
members of American Legion Post 128
and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 12031 –
representatives of our nation’s largest organizations of veterans.
These organizations have long histories and extensive traditions of serving our communities, promoting Americanism, family values, youth programs, freedom, liberty, and much more. Members of the North Valley veteran organizations are highly motivated to celebrate properly the achievements and sacrifices of members of our Armed Forces with whom they, as veterans, share common experiences.
