Culver City Holds Veterans Day Ceremony on November 14: Field of Valor's 500-Plus Flags on Display Through November 19, $50 to Sponsor a Flag
The City of Culver City, in Los Angeles County, California, invites the community to come together in recognition of Veterans Day 2026. On Monday, the Culver City City Council proclaimed November 11, 2026, as Veterans Day, recognizing the courage, service and sacrifice of veterans who have served in the United States Armed Forces during times of conflict and peace. Residents are encouraged to continue that recognition this week by attending the city's Veterans Day Ceremony, visiting the Field of Valor, and honoring a veteran or first responder through a flag sponsorship.
Event information:
Organizer: The City of Culver City invites the community; the Veterans Day Ceremony is hosted by the Exchange Club of Culver City
Time: Saturday, November 14, 2026, at 2 p.m. (Veterans Day Ceremony); the Field of Valor is on display November 9-19
Place: Culver City Veteran's Auditorium (4117 Overland Ave); the Field of Valor is at Culver City Veterans Memorial Park, at Culver Boulevard and Overland Avenue
How to join: The ceremony is held on the steps of the Veteran's Auditorium and open to the community; following the ceremony, attendees are invited to a special presentation celebrating the contributions of immigrant veterans throughout the 250-year history of the U.S. military
The Field of Valor displays more than 500 American flags, each a visible reminder of the collective service and sacrifice of veterans and first responders. Now through November 16, community members can sponsor a flag by sharing a hero's name and branch of service along with a $50 tax-deductible donation supporting unhoused veterans. A handmade yellow ribbon personalized with the hero's name, branch of service and the appropriate emblem will be assigned to a place of distinction in the Field of Valor for two weeks, and the ribbon is the sponsor's to keep as a memento. Sponsors can locate their flags on the Find Your Flag map, and may remove and keep their yellow ribbon anytime between November 11 and 18; the flags themselves should be left in place.
Veterans Day traces its roots to Armistice Day in 1918, marking the end of World War I; in 1954, Congress established Veterans Day to honor all veterans of the Armed Forces. For generations, Culver City residents have served in the U.S. military during times of war and peace, and the city encourages residents to pause this week to remember those who served, honor those lost or missing in action, and continue supporting those serving today.
