As part of Shoreline's first ever Veteran's Day event, there will be a 21-gun salute at approximately 2:45 pm.

Keep the pets inside and don't call 911 - it's all part of the event. Dwight Stevens and Frank Moll, World War II Veterans, have organized a full-out, home-grown event, with a Shorecrest student singing patriotic songs, a color guard, visiting military dignitaries, and now a 21-gun salute.

The event starts at 1:45 pm in the courtyard of Shoreline City Hall at 17500 Midvale N, one block east of Aurora. Parking is available in the parking garage and in lots along Midvale Avenue. In case of rain, the events will move into the City Hall lobby, but the guns will stay outside.

It is scheduled to last about two hours. Veterans and active military personnel are particularly invited, but the entire community is encouraged to attend to honor them.
