Tuesday, November 11 is Veterans Day. To honor and say thank you to all retired and current US Military members, Heartland Acres is offering half price admission to the museum for the month of November. Military ID required.
According to the U.S Department of Veterans Affairs website the origin of Veterans Day began in 1921. An unknown World War I American soldier was buried in Arlington National Cemetery and similar ceremonies occurred in England and France. These memorials took place on November 11, giving universal recognition to the end of World War I. Fighting ended at 11 a.m., November 11, 1918 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month). The day was known as “Armistice Day” and is now called Veterans Day.
Members of our armed forces throughout time and all over the globe work to insure our freedoms and our safety. Heartland Acres wishes to honor all who have served or are currently serving in our military by offering half price admission to the museum throughout the month of November. “This is a small token of our appreciation for the commitments and sacrifices made by members of our military to help keep us safe.” commented Brian Bell, Event Manager at Heartland Acres.
“Ag in the Military Display” remains on exhibit due to its popularity and is a cornerstone exhibit for Heartland Acres.
