LOS ANGELES, November 3, 2009 – In honor of Veterans Day, admission fees and vehicle entrance fees have been waived to the regional park facilities on November 6-13, 2009, for Veterans and their families.  The motion, introduced by Supervisor Don Knabe, was unanimously approved today by the Board of Supervisors. 

 

“As Veterans Day approaches, it is important that we recognize the many contributions that Veterans and their families have made for our great County over the years,” said Supervisor Knabe.  “We owe them many freedoms that we have today, and they truly deserve the honor and respect of their fellow Americans.”
