The local veterans had a packed day for the 1938 Armistice, known today as Veterans Day. First and  foremost was the annual parade from the Memorial Hall to the head of Main Street, were a plaque had been installed commemorating the soldiers of Lassen County who had fallen during the Great War, as it was known at the time, but later became known as World War I.

Following the parade, at noon time, a new flag pole dedication was held at the Lassen Union High School. Later in the afternoon a football game was held at the school between Lassen and Westwood. That evening a banquet was held honoring those who served in World War I. The next evening the Thomas Tucker Post of the American Legion sponsored a Armistice Ball, held at the Cindercone Dance Hall at Standish.
