redtails

This Veteran’s day, Tuskegee Airmen will be honored for their service in a ceremony outside the Orlando Science Center.

The first national monument honoring the Red Tail Pilots opened outside the Science Center a year ago.

Mike McKenzie, President and CEO of Vision of Flight, a local organization, will take part in a wreath laying ceremony in front of the monument outside the Science Center's east entrance.

“It’s not just Veteran’s or Memorial day, I keep this same mission in our format year round, it’s something that needs to be constantly said and reminded.”
