Layton Hills Mall is scheduled to host its second annual Veterans Appreciation Day at 6 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6, 2026. The public is invited to attend the event, which will feature a ceremony and a digital display of service members.
The event will include the unveiling of the Veterans Honor Wall, a digital display that celebrates local veterans. According to a press release, the ceremony will feature a presentation of colors by the Utah Military Academy. Remarks are scheduled from Layton Mayor Joy Petro, Operation Hero Founder Antionette Stapley, community leaders, and veteran-serving organizations.
Families attending the event can participate in patriotic-themed kids' crafts and various family activities. Additionally, recruiters from multiple branches of the U.S. Armed Forces will be available to connect with attendees. The digital Veterans Honor Wall is designed to feature the names of service members from all military branches, and the mall is currently seeking names of local veterans to add to the display.
Layton Hills Mall Marketing and Community Engagement Manager Glady Larsen stated that the event is fitting for the area due to its proximity to Hill Air Force Base. Larsen noted that the military community is a regular part of the mall's frequent visitors. The Veterans Honor Wall will remain on display through Veterans Day.
