Note To Editors/News Directors:

Veterans Remembered at NASA Ceremony 

The courage, commitment and sacrifice of those who served our nation 
will be the focus of a Veterans Day ceremony at NASA's Glenn Research 
Center, Cleveland, on Friday, November 9.



This employee only event will begin at 11 a.m. in Glenn's 
Administration Building Auditorium. The program will include bagpipe 
music, a historical explanation of the poppy's significance to 
veterans, a presentation by a WWII veteran of the Veterans Wreath, 
posting and retrieving of colors, and the national anthem.



A highlight of the event will be kindergartners from Glenn's on-site 
daycare facility, Lewis Little Folks, who will parade into the 
auditorium carrying American flags. This is in keeping with President 
Bush's previously stated initiative to encourage military veterans to 
share their experiences with elementary school students "at a time 
when examples of duty and courage are sorely needed."



Media representatives who plan to attend the ceremony should call the 
Media Relations Office 216-433-2901 in order to be cleared through 
security.
