WWI Memorial Park Hosting Live Broadcast of Grand Opening – April 16
Many of you know that I have the honor of serving on a national commission established to commemorate the end of World War I at its 100th anniversary. The commission established many educational and commemorative programs over a multi-year period.
The final project is the completion of a national memorial in Washington DC honoring the sacrifices of those who served. The memorial consists of an urban park and monumental sculpture of 37 figures telling a story of “A Soldier’s Journey.” The sculpture is still under construction, but the park is completed.
The grand opening is at 9:00 am CT, Friday, April 16. I’m unable to attend in person but will be watching the broadcast, and I expect it will be an exciting and moving event. I invite you to also watch. You can learn more and register at first colors registration - World War I Centennial (worldwar1centennial.org)
