The City of Chula Vista is not only rich in culture and community, but also strong in tradition and remembrance of those who fought bravely for our freedom.  According to the 2011 United States Census, over 18,000 post-service veterans make their home in Chula Vista.  One of the only incorporated cities in San Diego County with a Veterans Advisory Commission to support awareness and issues regarding military veterans, a veteran presence can be found throughout the city.  We pay tribute to our veterans past, present and future through our actions in salute of service to our country.
