Free Museum admission for American veterans and active military all day.

Please join us on Veterans Day for a very special evening honoring those who have served our nation in the U.S. Armed Forces,
including Captain Harry S. Truman in World War I. Presenters and special guests will include The Honorable Ike Skelton, acclaimed author and historian D. M. Giangreco, and descendants of those who served with Captain Harry. Following a special message from Rep. Ike Skelton, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, D. M. Giangreco will discuss his recent book,
"The Soldier from Independence: A Military History of Harry Truman," which recounts the WWI military adventure that would mark a turning point in Truman's life. The award-winning author of nine books, Giangreco served as an editor at Military Review and has lectured widely on national security matters.

The evening will conclude with a book signing; copies of "The Soldier from Independence" will be available in the Museum Store.

This program is free and open to the public; general admission seating is first come, first served. All are invited to the 6 p.m. wine reception with Clifton Truman Daniel,
