Admission is free from 10 a.m. To 8 p.m. The museum will hold a solemn ceremony at 11 a.m., with the Estacado High School Color Guard opening the commemoration.
Dr. Jennifer Wilson will honor the nation's veterans with the City of Lubbock Veterans Day Proclamation. Dr. Ron Milam follows with a talk on the significance of this date in world history and our national identity. Then the All Saints Episcopal School Children's Choir will give a special performance celebrating the accomplishments of those who served.
The museum invites everyone in the community to the day, which honors U.S. Veterans. After the ceremony, residents can write an encouraging note to members of our nation's military and pick up a poppy to wear in remembrance of veterans.
The evening shifts gears. From 6 p.m. To 8 p.m., a big band performance brings live music from Finessence, with a lively beat and patriotic themes that keep spirits high for the World War II generation.
