Memorial Day weekend will be celebrated a little differently this year at the Texas Panhandle War Memorial.
Beginning on Friday May 23, at noon, there will be an opening ceremony for the “Remembering Our Fallen” traveling exhibit. The National Iraq – Afghanistan Memorial – Remembering Our Fallen, honors and remembers our fallen Veterans from the Global War on Terrorism (9/11/2001 – 8/30/2021). It is a photographic war memorial with over 5,000 pictures and histories that honors our Fallen from the War on Terrorism. This memorial also includes those who died in training accidents, whether stateside or overseas, as well as those who served in the combat zone during this time, but succumbed to PTS. Twenty-nine of the photographs are Veterans of the Texas Panhandle who are also remembered on the monoliths in our Veterans Garden.
The exhibit will remain open from noon May 23 thru 6 pm May 26.
Our Memorial Day Ceremony will be Monday, May 26, beginning at 11:30, at the Texas Panhandle War Memorial, 4111 S. Georgia St.
This weekend will be a great time to visit our education center and museum of military artifacts, displays, and photographs from WWI to Afghanistan. See our Medal of Honor exhibit highlighting 33 Soldiers who were awarded the Medal of Honor for heroic action in the Panhandle, or lived here. The War Memorial has the only Military Chapel in the Panhandle, available for weddings and funerals. Our high-tech Education Center features five interactive computer kiosks, each with information on 11 U. S. wars. We also have oral histories of the Vietnam War and World War II. Visit our gift shop for military tee shirts, ball caps, and military memorabilia.
We invite you to visit our museum Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Our telephone number is 806-350-8387. Follow us on Facebook and visit our website www.TexasPanhandleWarMemorial.com
