Let's learn, celebrate and enjoy this Saturday, May 18, with some special events happening.
Come join Mayor Larry Milton as he welcomes Medal of Honor recipient, Gary Littrell and other honored guests for the launch of STEM-Liner IV. You will get to visit with former USAF Reserve and former USAF Thunderbird pilot, Major Trevor Aldridge, call sign: "Dozen." This will all start Saturday morning at the Branson Airport at 10 a.m.
You will get up close and personal with civilian and military aircraft, including Air Force C-130s, a Patriot and a Hiperbipe aerobatic plane, with many more. This expo will also have robotics and so much more to offer. Tribute To Valor Foundation, with the help of MAP and the United States Air Force, will be hosting the event.
Sunday morning will start with the students from Little Rock, AR.; Los Angeles, CA; and right here in Branson – the Branson, Hollister High Schools and Trinity Christian Academy boarding the STEM-Liner IV for a trip to the NASA base in Houston, TX. This mission grants these teens a rare opportunity to connect with our nation's heroes (only 63 living Medal of Honor recipients). And not only that, but they will also get to learn all things about the science, technology, mathematics and design for future careers. They will learn the six core values of Medal of Honor which are courage, sacrifice, commitment, integrity, patriotism and citizenship; and leadership principles, vision and appreciation for their families, communities and country. These teens will help themselves find the answer to "Who Am I?" and they will learn from professional engineers, astronauts, pilots, Medal of Honor recipients and STEM professionals about careers and development all in one trip. You don't want to miss this opportunity. Come on out and visit with all of them.
Then Saturday night starting at 6 p.m., Tony Orlando will be hosting a FREE SHOW at his old theater, "Yellow Ribbon," that is now proudly named, "The Freedom Encounter Theater," located at 3220 Falls Parkway in Branson. Tony has retired from performing, but stated to me that the ONLY time that he will perform again is for a veterans’ event. Tony is so very proud to live here in Branson, MO, and I for one am proud to have him here representing Branson. Also, of note is that I get to call him and his family good friends of mine and my family. Tony is a TRUE PATRIOT and LOVES the veterans and their families. You will enjoy a wonderful night of patriotism and fun. Phil Vandel will be a special guest with Tony on stage. You will find out more about this organization and what is happening. You DON'T want to miss this night.
Both events are FREE; you cannot go wrong with that price and think about the price that was PAID for us by our VETERANS. What a great FUTURE for our YOUTH as well!
