Veterans Day Events Around Rocklin

Veterans Day is so much more than a day off from school or work (if you’re one of the lucky ones!). It’s a wonderful opportunity to honor and thank the men and women who have bravely served our country in the armed forces. There are many ways to acknowledge their service, so we’re highlighting some ways you and your family can celebrate in our area!
