Museum of Flight Expansion Plans Richard Beckerman, Director of Facilities Operations, Museum of Flight, provided an overview of the museum's expansion plans and introduced Public Affairs Information Officer Brian Bomb. Mr. Bomb provided an update on activities to commemorate the armed forces on May 29, 2000. Sadly, Mr. Bomb reported many activities commemorating the service of the United States Armed Forces on Memorial Day have been discontinued. The Museum is sponsoring an all-day Memorial Day event to honor those who have served in the armed forces.
Admission is free to current and previous members of the armed forces.
Brigadier General Robin Holmes will present the keynote speech. Several other outdoor events will include displays of vintage and modern aircraft. Military related films and tours will take place inside the museum. Kathryn Kertzman, Marketing Director, Southwest King County Chamber of Commerce, reported on the efforts the Chamber is undertaking to promote the event. The Chamber will send separate press releases and has various websites listing the event.
