Veterans Day Wreath Laying Ceremony
We invite you to honor our nation’s veterans, past and present, during a brief ceremony at 11:00 am on Wednesday, November 11 at the Red Tails Monument, located just outside of Orlando Science Center in Loch Haven Park. The ceremony is free and open to the public, but Orlando Science Center will be closed that day for scheduled maintenance.
This annual wreath ceremony is our heartfelt tribute to our veterans and our way of honoring the brave people who keep our country safe. The Red Tails Monument is made possible through a partnership with Orlando Science Center and Vision of Flight, thanks to the generosity of the late Syd Levy of United Trophy, Inc.
Please join us for a brief ceremony as we lay a wreath at the base of the Red Tails Monument in honor of all veterans while a bugler plays "Taps" and there is a presentation of colors by the Cypress Creek High School ROTC Color Guard.
The Red Tails Monument serves as a symbol of courage and triumph over adversity that inspires future generations in their pursuit of academic success and careers in STEM fields, such as aviation.
During World War II, the Red Tail Pilots of the Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to racial discrimination, both within and outside the Army. Despite these adversities, they trained and flew with distinction.
