Veterans Day 2018
By Nick Perry
MVHA President
On November 11 the MVHA participated in the
annual Mountain View Veterans Day Ceremony at
the Veterans Memorial in Eagle Park. The ceremony
included a special tribute to the 100th anniversary
of the end of World War I.
MVHA President Nick Perry gave a short speech
about what Mountain View was like during World
War I, noting that the town had a population of
about 1,000 people with 130 serving in the war.
He also shared the history of the Veterans Memorial
location at the former site of Mountain View Union
High School.
The MVHA has been working on a new interpretive
sign describing the meaning of the memorial and
the history of Eagle Park will be added to the
memorial. A mock-up of the sign was unveiled
at the ceremony and a permanent sign will be
installed in 2019.
