 OPENING CEREMONY

In keeping with our mission statement this year we want to honor our Veterans with a recognition ceremony beginning at 10:55. All Veterans in attendance are requested to go by the EAA Booth and obtain a badge of honor ribbon and then meet in front of the EAA Booth at 10:50. At 11:00, our honorary Ada Air Expo Grand Commander, COL Frank Crabtree, a former WWII B-17 Flying Fortress pilot and longtime citizen of Ada will lead our Veterans and the public in the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a flying salute to our flag during the playing of the National Anthem. Our flag will be posted by the Chickasaw Nation Color Guard. On completion of the salute to our flag the flying tribute will return and perform a “Missing Man” formation in honor of all the men and women who have paid the ultimate sacrifice while the Chickasaw Nation Color Guard performs a 21 gun salute. While on the grounds of Ada Air Expo be sure to thank these Veterans for their service our county. They will be identified by a blue “Veteran” ribbon.
