CULVER CITY, CA — A ceremony honoring members of the U.S. Armed Forces and first responders is set for Saturday at Veterans Auditorium, along with ongoing event citywide throughout the month.
The ceremony Saturday on the steps of Veterans Auditorium, 4117 Overland Ave., is set for sat 2 p.m., city officials said. Hosted by the Exchange Club of Culver City, the ceremony will be followed by a presentation highlighting immigrant veterans' contributions throughout the U.S. military's 250-year history.
The event follows the City Council's proclamation Monday officially recognizing Nov. 11, 2026, as Veterans Day and expressing gratitude for military service and sacrifice.
The city's Field of Valor, featuring more than 500 American flags, is on display Nov. 9-19 at Veterans Memorial Park, located at Culver Boulevard and Overland Avenue.
Through Nov. 16, community members can sponsor a flag in someone's honor or memory with a $50 donation supporting veterans experiencing homelessness. Organizers said the donations are tax-deductible.
Each sponsorship includes a handmade yellow ribbon personalized with the honoree's name, branch of service and appropriate emblem. Sponsors may locate their flags using an online map, which lists them by sponsor name.
Officials said sponsors may remove and keep their ribbons Nov. 11-18 but requested they leave flags in place.
Sponsorship information and the flag locator map are available at culvertribute.org.
