The ceremony will take place at the Veterans Memorial Park, and will begin at 10 a.m. The ceremony will include the laying of a wreath to honor the fallen.
Speakers will include Mayor of Rio Rancho Greggory D. Hull and various military personnel. Mayor Hull will pay special tribute to a veteran who volunteers for the City of Rio Rancho. While this event is open to the public, space is limited due to COVID-19-related restrictions. For those who would prefer a virtual option, the ceremony will be recorded and posted to the City of Rio Rancho’s YouTube channel after the event.
Military boots representing fallen service members will also be on display at Veterans Park. The boots will be laid out in military formation and will have a personalized portrait of a fallen veteran alongside each one. The boots representing fallen service members will be on display at Veterans Park as a powerful, temporary memorial. Both the memorial ceremony and boot display are organized by Rio Rancho's own Marine Corps League Detachment 1316, American Legion Post 118, VFW Post 5890, Women Veterans of New Mexico, and the Military Order of the Purple Heart.

Did you know plastic bags and bagged recyclables are NOT recyclable in your recycling bin at home? When you bag your recyclables, all your good recycling work could be going to waste. Plastic bags wreak havoc on processing equipment and pose safety hazards to workers, so ditch them and empty your recyclables directly into your recycling container. Recyclables should never be placed in plastic bags in your recycling carts. We have no way to know what is in them, so for safety reasons we treat all bagged material at our facilities as trash. Take Action. Don’t bag your recyclables or put plastic bags (or other film plastics) in your recycle bin. #KeepRioRanchoBeautiful #PreserveSandovalCounty
