Two musical ensembles entertained the crowd, including the Note 4 Notes Chamber Ensemble and Project: Peace by Piece, a non-profit organization that uses music to inspire youth and community members.

Melissa Giller, chief marketing officer for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute said, “President Reagan had a profound respect for our military and a deep appreciation for the sacrifices of our veterans. Our annual Veterans Day Commemoration at the Reagan Library is one way we can honor their service.”
The event included a reenactment of raising the flag on Iwo Jima in 1945, an honor guard ceremony, and a keynote address by retired Army Sergeant Eric Donoho. Giller said that after the public events, the foundation hosted a program “specifically for veterans and their families, to help ensure they have the support and community they deserve after returning to civilian life. The Reagan Foundation is honored to continue President Reagan’s legacy by supporting veterans and their families, ensuring their service is never forgotten.”
