On Veteran's Day, November 11, 2013 at 9:00 AM, we invite everyone to join us at the Benicia Arsenal Historic Army Cemetery for the raising of the 600-square-foot garrison flag.

U.S. Congressman Mike Thompson is diligently rearranging his schedule to attend and speak to us all; I will update this post once we have final confirmation.
