Happy Veterans Day!
Today we pay tribute to our nation's veterans who honorably served and sacrificed for our country. Today, we collectively say to each of them: Thank You.
California has the great fortune of being home to the largest population of veterans in the nation (approximately 3.5 million). Today holds even more significance for each of us in the 78th Assembly District because San Diego is a proud military town – the roots of our armed forces are ingrained in our communities and neighbors. It is how my grandparents met, and I know countless San Diegans share similar stories.
That's why I hope you will join me in taking today to honor all who have served and those who continue to serve.
This morning, I will take part in the annual San Diego Veterans Day Parade along Harbor Drive in the 78th District. The parade steps off at 11 a.m. Click here to see the parade route and where you can view the event. After the parade, I will be heading to Mount Soledad for the Veterans Day Memorial at 2 p.m.
In addition, as a proud serving member of the Assembly's Veterans Affairs Committee, I wanted to make you aware of two programs that may be of interest to you or a veteran in your life:
A new Veterans Online Shopping Benefit allows you to sign up for tax-free, online shopping on select clothing, electronics, food and more at the online Exchange.
A program honoring California's veterans by allowing all who are honorably discharged to display a California's "veteran" designation on state driver licenses or identification cards.
More information is available on my website at asmdc.org/Gloria or by calling my office at (619) 645-3090. As always, it's a pleasure to serve as your Assemblymember.
Sincerely,
Todd Gloria
