Veterans Day falls on Wednesday, November 11 — and Corona has real, local ways to honor those who served beyond a simple "thank you."
American Legion Post 216, Corona's oldest active veterans post at 1024 S. Main St., has served the community since 1923 and is currently welcoming new members across its Legion, Auxiliary, Sons, and Legion Riders groups.
The Corona Public Library's Veterans Connect program offers free, one-on-one help for veterans and their families navigating VA benefits, healthcare, housing, and employment — with Wednesday office hours available.
Neighboring Norco's George A. Ingalls Veterans Memorial Plaza hosts an annual November 11 ceremony, and Corona's own City Hall veterans memorial — currently under renovation — remains open for a quiet, meaningful visit.
