The first Saturday of each month, the Texas Panhandle War Memorial hosts a one-hour lecture/seminar on topics related to military history. These lecture/seminars are free to the public. They are held at the Texas Panhandle War Memorial Center, 4111 S. Georgia, at 1:30 p.m. Snacks are available for the attendees. The lecture/seminar series is made possible by a grant from the Mary E. Bivins Foundation.
This Saturday, January 6th, Mary Parker will be our guest speaker for “Reflections on Military Service”. She is a Gold Star family member and will speak on the efforts of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), in the recovery and identification of her uncles remains. It took 72 years and his remains were brought back to the US and given full military honors. The DPAA looks for and identifies the remains of the 81,000 American service members who are still missing.
Take advantage of our hours on Saturday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. and tour our Education Center and military history museum, test your knowledge in our high-tech Education Center with five computer kiosks displaying information about 11 U. S. wars, and visit our outdoor displays including a Huey helicopter, supersonic jet fighter/bomber, a piece of the USS Arizona deck and superstructure, and our monuments to over 1,550 Panhandle residents who gave their lives in wars.
We encourage you to visit our Museum Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free for veterans; adults are $5, children and students $2. Our telephone number is 806-350-8387. Follow us on Facebook and visit our website www.TexasPanhandleWarMemorial.com
