Lamorinda Veteran's Day vigils planned

A Veterans Memorial is scheduled from 9 to 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 11 at Moraga Commons Park (1425 St. Mary's Road) at the Memorial Rock to honor those who served and will include a cadre of Scouts, town and county officials, veterans and community members who will listen to speakers and enjoy refreshments. Additionally, a Veteran's Day Vigil will take place at 4:30 p.m. that same day at the Lafayette Hillside Memorial, across from BART in Lafayette. Thoughts at the vigil will be focused on U.S. soldiers who have served on behalf of our country and the sacrifices they've made. It will include short speeches, music and reflection.

Lafayette Hillside Memorial continues to be a place of reflection and remembrance; a protest against forgetting. It is a place to recognize, honor, and commemorate individual national service contributions. The memorial is also a place that encourages individual and public reflection on those contributions, and the otherwise unintended, unseen, and unexamined costs of war.
