Veterans Day Events in Costa Mesa and Orange County
Veterans Day occurs every November 11 as a day to pay tribute to all American veterans, living or dead, who served during war or peacetime. Originating as “Armistice Day” on the same day in 1919 to mark the first anniversary of the end of World War I, Veterans Day became a national holiday in 1938. California has the highest number of living veterans at over 2 million. With so many veterans, there are many Veterans Day tributes throughout the state. In Costa Mesa and other cities in Orange County, citizens pay tribute to the vets with speeches, parades, free meals and marathons.
