Essential Aspects In Celebrating Veterans Day California

By Jerry Young


It is by law that on every eleventh day of November everyone should take some time off to observe the veteran day. This day is set aside to commemorate all the retired soldiers who have served the country in the war during the past. It is mostly confused with Memorial Day which citizens celebrate all the deceased soldiers. Below are important aspects in celebrating Veterans Day California that one can take heed.

Acknowledge the date and secure it in your daily schedule. Despite the fact that the state has offered this date as a free time, most people are seen engaging in their daily activities against what is expected of them. To avoid falling prey of such instances, it is important to secure this period early enough to avoid inconveniences when it is too late. If you expect to celebrate with a couple of friends or colleges, make sure they have marked this event as well.

Ask for assistance in planning an event. Rather than just sitting around as a day off, it is worth planning an event which you can invite the veteran to celebrate together. It requires one to have experience in this which you can request for assistance from a renowned planner or friend. One is expected to have reasonable charges or possibly offer their services for free as an indication of honor to the retired troopers.

Have a suitable location to hold your event. You expect public places to be free during this holiday. However, booking an appointment early enough is very important to avoid any unplanned inconvenience. Know the right number of attendance expected by noting their response to having the right plans in terms of their seats or any other important aspect needed.

Participate in the local parade. Certainly, your respective authority will organize a local parade where one is required to attend. Be cautious with your timing since it will appear within a short period and there are high chances that you can miss out if not keen enough. Hang a flag on your porch as a sign of honor and buy a poppy altogether. The poppy should be pinned at a place where everyone can see it.

Consider a fundraiser for veterans home. You can as well decide on holding a fundraiser for veterans in homes. Look for assistance from the authority to make the fundraiser public and legal as well. Ask a few friends to help in collecting this funds. Accept any other form of assistance apart from money which is useful to them. Assure that all the assistance is given to the neediest homes.

Consider other suitable options. One might lack the capacity to offer big events but can consider simple but highly recommended activities. Such events include visiting elderly soldiers carrying along things that might be helpful. One can write letters praising them for their patriotism or even publish them in Medias where they can see them and feel honored for their service.

Evaluate the suitability of your choice. Despite all the effort that one has placed in their celebration, one should ascertain that everything is in order and it will go as expected. This can be done by the select committee appointed to plan the event.
