Honor A Veteran

Veteran's Day 
Sunday, November 11, 2018

This Sunday we will pay tribute to those who have served our country.  Many of us have family, friends, and/or neighbors who have fought and given the ultimate sacrifice, or are still out there fighting for us.

In Highland, we are fortunate to have a beautiful Veteran's Memorial Kiosk where we can pay homage to all of the wonderful individuals who have served, and still serve, so that we have the privileges of being an American.  Thanks to the efforts of American Legion Lee Iten Post 439, VFW Post 5649, and the City of Highland this kiosk is in place at Rinderer Park.  If you would like to recognize or honor someone, please download the form here.
 

Thank You!
