After the Keynote speakers,  a Medley of Service Songs will be sung by Donna Matson and Veterans will be asked to muster near the stage when their service is recognized, which usually draws a huge crowd. The service will conclude at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month with the Nevada County all Veterans Honor Guard performing a Three Volley gun Salute and taps. Then lunch will be served downstairs to veterans by the American Legion post 130.
