DANVILLE, Calif. - Community members on Monday night will gather at the Memorial Building in downtown Danville to light the Aviation Beacon on Mount Diablo Summit.
This light has served as a reminder of those who served and sacrificed for the United States in the attack on Pearl Harbor since 1964.
The ritual began in 2022.
The lighting begins at 8 p.m.
The program will include a performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" by Karley Conde, remarks from Morgan and Vietnam War veteran Pat Leary, and a rendition of "Taps" by Joe McHale.
