This year’s tribute will honor the nation’s fallen service members with a program led by Edward J. Carrillo, City Treasurer and U.S. Marine veteran, and Ralph Figueroa,
U.S. Army veteran, SVA National Student Veteran of the Year, and San Bernardino County Veterans Advisory Committee Commissioner. According to Deputy City Clerk Maria Rodriguez, the keynote address will be delivered by Octavio Sanchez, a Marine Corps veteran and Director of Frontsight Military Outreach. A Fontana resident and father of five, Sanchez served as a machine gunner, squad leader, and marksmanship instructor during his military career. He now dedicates his life to guiding fellow veterans through the challenges
of post-service life by helping them find purpose through faith. The event, set against the backdrop of the American flag and solemn headstones, carries a reminder echoed in the program’s featured quote: “This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.” The tribute will be held at Rialto Park Cemetery, 200 N. Willow Ave. For more information, contact the Rialto City Clerk’s Office at (909) 820-2519.
