A brilliant blue sky looked down at the field of American flags planted by the Film Strip fountain in front of the Vets Memorial Building at the corner of Overland and Culver Boulevards. A brown and yellow Mourning Cloak butterfly drifted through, seeming to stop at one flag and then the next as the honorary color guard assembled before the event.

Hosted by the Exchange Club, Culver City Rotary Club, the Culver City Woman's Club and the Culver City Chamber of Commerce, the collection of service organizations were all there to support a tribute to heroes; not just the military veterans, but first responders, firefighters and police as well. Several dozen community members were in attendance.
