WWII Memorial dedication ceremony to honor Kansas veterans
Congressman Jerry Moran today announced a reception May 29 in Washington D.C., to honor Kansas veterans attending the National World War II Memorial dedication ceremony.
During this year's Memorial Day weekend, thousands of WWII veterans from across the country will gather in Washington, D.C., for the dedication of the new WWII memorial that is located on the National Mall.
"This memorial honors the 16 million Americans who answered the call to service, the 400,000 Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice, and the millions who supported our troops at home," Moran said. "It is my privilege to offer veterans and their families an opportunity to come together as Kansans while visiting Washington, D.C., to attend the National World War II Memorial dedication ceremony."
The reception will be held from 9 to 10 a.m. May 29 at the atrium of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Building, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW in Washington D.C. The building is located about four blocks from the National World War II Memorial dedication site.
