As Veterans Day approaches, many of us take a moment to reflect on the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who have served our nation. For me, this day holds a deep personal significance—as a veteran and as a proud member of the Norco community. Our city has a rich tradition of honoring service, and one place that beautifully embodies this spirit is the George A. Ingalls Veterans Memorial Plaza.
Located inside the George Ingalls Equestrian Event Center in Norco, California, this memorial plaza stands as a heartfelt tribute to the veterans who have bravely defended our freedoms. The plaza honors George A. Ingalls, a local hero and Medal of Honor recipient who gave his life while serving in Vietnam. His courage and sacrifice reflect the values of dedication, service, and love for country—principles that continue to resonate strongly in our community.
The Memorial Plaza serves as a peaceful place of reflection and gratitude. Surrounded by symbolic monuments, plaques, and the serenity of Norco’s western-inspired surroundings, it offers a meaningful space to honor those who served and continue to serve. Whether you are visiting to pay respects, educate younger generations, or simply reflect, this site stands as a powerful reminder that freedom is never free.
As we observe Veterans Day, I encourage you to visit the George A. Ingalls Veterans Memorial Plaza and take a moment to honor the heroes who have protected our nation. Let’s carry forward their legacy with pride and gratitude—not only on this special day, but every day.
Thank you for being a valued part of our community. Your trust and support mean the world to me. Together, let’s continue to honor our veterans and ensure their sacrifices are never forgotten.
