May 26, 2008 - SIMI VALLEY, CA: On Memorial Day the City of Simi Valley will come together for the annual tribute to Welcome our Veterans with a "SALUTE TO ARMS".  In realizing the many Memorial Day events our Vets put on throughout the day for our fallen brothers and sisters, we felt a perfect opportunity to serve them and take the opportunity to officially as a City say "Thank You and Welcome Home".
Under the organization of the Single Adults of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we have coordinated all the local restaurants and businesses to provide a special luncheon and program of entertainment, along with the opportunity to tie in all services available within  the community  that  support our  Veterans and  currently serving troops.  Many businesses donate items to be given to our vets with FREE tickets that are handed to them as they enter the luncheon. Our Veterans and  their spouses are invited to attend this Luncheon FREE of charge, as the Best of Simi Valley Restaurants donates a feast for them unlike ever done before.   The event is held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints located at Sinaloa Building of the LDS Church, 480 Sinaloa Rd., Simi Valley.
