Veteran's Day is coming up, and there are a few celebrations taking place that day. But, if you're looking for another opportunity to thank our Veterans, maybe you'll want to head up to Overland Park a little early.

The free 2016 Veterans Day celebration is open to employees, friends & family and the general public, and will feature:

• A-10 Thunderbolts from Whiteman Air Force Base

• An aerial performance by the BeechNutz formation team

• Military aircraft

• Vehicle and equipment displays

• Sporting Kansas City players

• Mascots K.C. Wolf and Sluggerrr

• Local first responders

• Historical military vehicles

• Military museums

• Toys 4 Tots donations

• Johnson County Community College Chorus performance of patriotic music

It'll be held today, Thursday, November 10, 2016 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the Sprint Campus (117 and Nall Ave., Overland Park, KS). So if you can, make it by to thank a Veteran today.

Thankfully yours,
Behka
