In patriotic Fredericksburg, it’s a virtual Veterans Day Wednesday

By Fredericksburg Standard News Staff, November 10, 2020

A virtual Veterans Day Program will be hosted by the Admiral Nimitz Foundation and the National Museum of the Pacific War on Wednesday, Nov. 11.

The program will premiere on the Museum’s YouTube channel at 11 a.m. and will be available for viewing at any time thereafter.

This year’s celebration features an introduction by Gen. Michael Hagee (USMC, ret.), Admiral Nimitz Foundation president and CEO, discussing what Veterans Day means to him and fellow veterans who served alongside him.

Following Hagee’s remarks, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick will give a keynote speech. A photo montage of veterans, set to a medley of military anthems honoring the different branches of the military, concludes the event.

On Veterans Day, the museum will offer free admission to all veterans and all currently serving in the United States military.

The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 11.
