Long Beach commemorating Veterans Day

The Joint Veterans Organization of Long Beach will observe Veterans Day at 10:30 a.m. Friday at Kennedy Plaza (1 W. Chester St.), in front of Long Beach City Hall.

Each year on Nov. 11, the Joint Veterans Organization of Long Beach — consisting of the American Legion, the AMVETS, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Jewish War Veterans — conducts a commemoration that concludes with a ceremonial rifle salute at 11 a.m.

In the case of inclement weather, the ceremony will be held on the sixth floor of City Hall.
