As the commemoration of the centennial of World War I (2014-2019) continues, the National World War I Museum and Memorial serves as a fitting place to honor those who have served — and continue to serve — the nation.
To recognize these men and women, admission to the museum and memorial is free for veterans and active duty military personnel, while general admission for the public is half-price, throughout the Veterans Day weekend, now through Monday, Nov. 11. The museum is near Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri.
To observe Veterans Day, the museum and memorial will offer a variety of events for people of all ages, including the debut of the acclaimed traveling exhibition The Vietnam War: 1945-1975. The exhibition is on its final tour stop. The World War I Museum in Kansas City is the only location west of the Mississippi to showcase this exhibit.
The museum and memorial will hold a free, public Veterans Day Ceremony at 10 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 11, featuring a keynote address from Dr. Pellom McDaniels III, former Kansas City Chiefs player who now serves as the faculty curator of the African American Collections and assistant professor of African American Studies at Rose Library at Emory University. The event will feature remarks from dignitaries including Kansas City, Missouri, Mayor Quinton Lucas as well as patriotic musical performances.
Support for Veterans Day is provided by Jackson County Executive and County Legislators, the Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund of Kansas City, Missouri, and Weather or Not.
