For the last few years, El Mirage’s Parks and Recreation Department has hosted an annual Veterans Pinning Ceremony at the Senior Center, 14010 N. El Mirage Road, in El Mirage, delivering a sincere personal acknowledgement to veterans.

It began in 1989 built around a simple idea: great music deserves to be heard.
