Veterans Day Salute Had Local Connections
The 2025 Veterans Day ceremony was held at Arrowhead Ridge, SBMLT’s wildland nature preserve at 352 Grass Valley Road in Lake Arrowhead. Polly Sauer, Life member of VFW Auxiliary 9624 and Vice President of the Mountains Land Trust, coordinated the event.
Gloria Loring served as Mistress of Ceremonies. The Color Guard from American Legion Post 360 and Rim of the World Veterans Outreach presented colors, and Nick Nerio, a Vietnam veteran and past commander of American Legion Post 360, helped raise the US flag.
Following the ceremony, the Elks Lodge 2393 in Rimforest hosted a free spaghetti lunch for veterans in attendance.
