Flag-raising Ceremony at Eagle Pointe Rec Center to recognize all who have served our country

Every Nov. 11, the nation takes time to recognize all who have served in the United States military with the observance of Veterans Day. For locals seeking a special way to honor those who have served, the Commerce City and the Veterans Commission invite you to a flag-raising Ceremony at Eagle Pointe Recreation Center (6060 Parkway Dr.).

The ceremony is set for 8 a.m. on Veterans Day, with coffee and donuts provided afterward. Oil painting activities for the whole family will start at 10 a.m., and a light lunch will be provided during the afternoon hours. Participants are asked to RSVP by calling Eagle Pointe Recreation Center at 303-289-3760.
