Remember And Honor

With the Vietnam Wall being inscribed with over 58,000 names of fallen soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice, amongst those are 27 from the City of Pico Rivera. Many of them graduated from El Rancho High School between 1962 and 1969. Their names are forever memorialized through various tributes, both with the City and El Rancho High School. Today, there are very few who knew all these brave young men. Let us now take a moment to remember these fallen soldiers who never returned to the place they called home.
