Golfing Veterans Day Event

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.

This year’s keynote speakers include local historians and veterans, who will shed light on the rich military history of the Inland Empire, reminding attendees of the deep-rooted service traditions that have shaped the region.

After the ceremony, a free lunch will be provided, generously sponsored by Authority Real Estate, a steadfast supporter of local veterans.

San Jacinto Mayor Valerie Vandever shared her personal commitment to the event, stating, “I want to be a part of this.”

City Councilmember and committee member Phil Ayala, a veteran himself, emphasized the importance of the gathering: “As a veteran myself, I know the importance of acknowledging veterans for all they have done to serve our country.”

Lester Fountain from the San Jacinto American Legion added, “Whatever is needed, we will help.”

The City of San Jacinto invites everyone to come together in support of the heroes who have given so much. This annual celebration is not just an event—it’s a community tradition that reflects the city's enduring gratitude and unity.
