Sunday marks the 21st anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. In Wichita the day will be marked with a special program at Veterans Memorial Park.
The program will take place at the Operation Freedom Memorial in the park at 339 Veterans Pkwy, in downtown Wichita, beginning at 1:00 p.m.
The McConnell Air Force Base Honor Guard will present the Colors to commence the program. After the speaker's remarks, the Marine Corps League Detail will fire a three-volley rifle salute, followed by the playing of Taps to conclude the event.
The commemoration will reflect upon the attacks of 9-11 as well as the subsequent response by the U.S. military, also known as the Global War on Terror.
The featured speaker will be Captain Sean Peters, Commander of the Wichita Recruiting Company, which reports to the Oklahoma City Army Recruiting Battalion.
If you plan to attend, remember, the program will start promptly at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, and is expected to last between 45 minutes and one hour. The public is invited to attend, but since seating will be very limited, attendees are advised bring your own chairs.
