The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Mount Diablo Beacon Set to Shine Tonight in Honor of Veterans Day-- Part 1

From the November 10, 2022,  Press (California) by Melissa  van Ruiten.

If you look west  after sunset in Friday, November 11, you'll notice a familiar light shining atop Mt. Diablo.

In honor of Veterans Day,  nonprofit land  conservation organization, Save Mount Diablo, will be lighting the summit beacon.   

This follows a joint proclamation that was issued in February of this year stating that  the beacon will be lit on Memorial Day, Veterans Day and Pearl Harbor Day sunset to sunrise, beginning in 2022 and every year thereafter.

Signatories of the proclamation included members of local veterans groups, California State Parks, bational. state and local elected officials and Save Mount Diablo members.

Story continued in my other blogs today.

A Nice Touch.  --GreGen
