The Pasadena Veterans Day program concludes with a flyover at City Hall.<\/p><\/div>\n

Today, veterans are being honored across America. National <\/span>media outlets<\/span><\/a> are encouraging people to share their favorite U.S. flag pictures (tagged #thankyouveterans). Meanwhile, local cities host their own celebrations, like the City of Pasadena\u2019s <\/span>event<\/span><\/a> to honor those who have served in the United States military, their loved ones and city first responders. This year\u2019s celebrations continue the tradition but place a special emphasis on the nation’s youngest and newest veterans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vanessa and I had the honor of attending today\u2019s Veteran\u2019s Day ceremony at beautiful Pasadena City Hall Centennial Square. The events highlighted the Pasadena Community College veterans\u2019 program, the number one program in California for returning veterans from the Long Wars. Today, it was also announced that this program is number two in the entire nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ROTC<\/a>

The ceremony began with the posting of colors by Blair High School ROTC and was followed by the a National Anthem performance by the PCC Pep Band. The band also honored the veterans of the various service branches with each military group’s anthem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even speakers included Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard; Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, a Marine veteran; and PCC professor Harold Martin (affectionately named \u201cDoc Martin” by his students)\u00a0who spoke primarily about the importance of helping our young veterans transition back into civilian life. At Spokeo, we know a large part of this transition includes making connections with other veterans.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a people search company, we\u2019re inspired to continue our pledge to do more for our veterans by <\/span>creating an easier way for veterans and military members to reconnect with the friends they\u2019ve served with<\/span><\/a>. We hope everyone found a way to celebrate Veteran\u2019s Day today, whether it was with your family, your friends, or your fellow veterans.<\/span><\/p>\n
