This is the picture that inspired the Military & Veterans Affairs Committee towards the placement of a permanent flag pole at Arrowhead Point in Thunderbird Park. Join us November 10th as we form a human chain to carry the flag (hand-over-hand) to the permanently installed flagpole being erected by the committee and several patriotic volunteers and sponsors. This will be the highest flag on display in the city of Glendale and a point of pride for residents and visitors alike. This event coincides with Veterans Day weekend celebration and pays tribute to those who have served or are serving in the US Armed Services. Event registration begins at 7:00 a.m., with the ascension of the US Flag up the trail beginning at 9:00 a.m. This event is free and open to the public; however, donations are being accepted to help to help fund this event and provide for future flag and flagpole maintenance. Please be sure to register for planning purposes.

A MESSAGE FROM A MEMBER OF THE MILITARY & VETERANS AFFAIRS COMMITTEE:
|
"The Glendale Chamber of Commerce Military Veterans Affairs Committee is a great venue for cross-communicating military events and issues relevant to our veteran community. I especially appreciate the Chamber's enthusiastic support, the dedicated volunteerism by its diverse memebership, and Mayor Weier's direct, hands-on involvement.
From my view, the committee's highlights of the year have been the planning and coordination efforts that ensured the success of September's Glendale Stand Up for Veterans event, as well as the Veterans Day ceremonies at the Glendale Veterans Memorial. Both events were planned and executed brilliantly by members of the committee." |
