Founded in 1921 by Governor Hiram Johnson, the Council was created as a singular body to represent all Veteran Service Organizations, and for over 100 years it has carried forward that mission with honor and resolve.\n\nEach year, the VAC gathers communities to celebrate service and sacrifice. On Veterans Day, thousands come together to witness a day of remembrance filled with tradition: a parade through the heart of our capital, military flyovers, a solemn ceremony, stirring entertainment, and a classic car show, all serving as a living tribute to those who have worn the uniform.<\/p>\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
