A Century of Remembrance at WWI Museum

A century of remembrance unfolded at the National World War One Museum in Kansas City as scouts laid 441 red poppy wreaths honoring fallen soldiers from the region. The solemn ceremony, attended by Governor Laura Kelly, Mayor Quinton Lucas, and Rep. Emmanuel Cleaver, featured keynote remarks from former Joint Chiefs Chairman General Richard Meyers, echoing President Coolidge’s original dedication. With the nation preparing for its 250th birthday, speakers stressed the fragility of democracy and the collective duty to protect freedom and justice. The museum offers free admission to veterans and military families, half-price for the public—though parking is tight due to FIFA Fanfest construction. It’s a poignant tribute to sacrifice and a call to safeguard the values that define America. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
