Golfing Veterans Day Event

San Jacinto to Honor Veterans with the 15th Annual Ceremony and Free Golf for Veterans at Golden Era Golf Course

San Jacinto, CA — On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at exactly 11:00 a.m., the City of San Jacinto and a devoted committee of veteran supporters will proudly host the 15th Annual Veterans Day Ceremony at the Golden Era Golf Course, located at 19871 Gilman Springs Road in San Jacinto.

This time-honored tradition—held on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour—offers a moving tribute to honor and recognize the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The event is free and open to veterans, their families, and the general public, with the ceremony followed by a complimentary lunch and free rounds of golf for veterans.

The program begins in a stirring fashion: a bagpiper will walk across the golf course toward the clubhouse, leading the way for the Hemet Mounted Posse, who will present the colors. From there, attendees can expect a program filled with pride, reverence, and history.
