The city will host its annual Veterans Day ceremony Tuesday at Veterans Park, with the program featuring a flyover provided by the Palm Springs Air Museum and participants ranging from vets to local leaders and community members.
The ceremony is set for 10 a.m.
The program will include Marine bagpiper Joel M. Daniel; a presentation of colors by Desert Hot Springs High School MCJROTC; the national anthem performed by Candess Tarrant; and an invocation by Bishop Marty Webster.
There will also be a salute to veterans led by U.S. Army Purple Heart recipient Senior Airman Eric Sanchez, plus a plaque dedication and closing remarks by Mayor Scott Matas.
“Veterans Day reminds us that the freedoms we enjoy every day were not given — they were earned through the courage and sacrifice of those who served,” Matas said. “Desert Hot Springs is proud to stand with our veterans today and every day.”
