So, I did go to the Silent Wings Museum http://www.mylubbock.us/departmental-websites/departments/silent-wings-museum/home today. I have never seen the parking lot that full, but they did two very smart marketing things: They had the USO style concert scheduled, and later in the day, they were having a South Plains Honor Flight Reunion http://southplainshonorflight.org/.
I arrived in time for the USO Concert performed by Moonlight Musicals Directions http://www.lubbockmoonlightmusicals.org/youthensemble.html. I especially enjoyed the performance of "La Vie en Rose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0feNVUwQA8U& https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nCZHF1U1g8 The performer even had the little bit of the waiver in her voice as did Edith Piaf.
I watched the DVD D-Day Remembered http://www.ebay.com/ctg/D-Day-Remembered-DVD-2004-2-Disc-Set-/43795577. The volume was too low, and the background noise to great, to be able to hear it well. But, I sat through it.
All in all, it was a good way to commemorate D-Day.
