The ceremony starts with the American Flag-raising ceremony at 10 a.m. Speakers, special presentations, and entertainment from local groups will also be featured. Enjoy a free barbecue lunch served at noon, offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Part of the fun, a co-ed volleyball tournament adds some friendly competition to the day.

The Veteran’s Recognition Day Celebration is a sincere, grateful, yet festive event for veterans, their families, and the entire community. Come on out if you’re a veteran, if you know a veteran, or if you’d like to thank a veteran for serving our country!

Then on Veteran’s Day, Monday, November 11, veterans can enjoy dinner as a thank you from the UltraStar Multi-tainment Center at Ak-Chin Circle. The 347 Grill will serve a free lasagna dinner with a side salad and garlic bread for all veterans. This offer is good while supplies last. Veterans can also enjoy a free movie admission at UltraStar Cinemas, from the Ak-Chin Indian Community Council. Some limits apply. Present your military ID to receive these specials.

The Ak-Chin Indian Community is very thankful for all veterans who serve our country. Join this event to celebrate and say thank you to our veterans!
