The American Legion Post 795 of South Lake Tahoe will be honoring all veterans, active and retired on Veterans Day.

The ceremony will take place at 11am Nov. 11 at the American Legion Hall, 2748 Lake Tahoe Blvd., South Lake Tahoe.

Formerly Armistice Day, Nov. 11 commemorates the anniversary of the peace agreement that ended World War I in 1918.

Happy Homestead (1261 Johnson Blvd.) is the final resting place to more than 560 veterans. Volunteers are needed to help our local veteran’s group place American flags at their grave sites in the morning on Veterans Day.  Volunteers are asked to meet at the cemetery at 8 that morning.
