Sedona Heritage Museum to Host
Virtual Veterans Day Tribute

October 24, 2020No Comments

Sedona AZ (October 24, 2020) – The Sedona Heritage Museum’s annual Veterans Day Tribute will be a virtual program this year in deference to the on-going pandemic.

Instead of a public gathering at the Museum’s historic Fruit Packing Shed, they have created a 30-minute program with many of the usual elements of their beloved annual Veterans Day celebration. This program will air for the first time on November 11^th at 11 a.m. on the City of Sedona’s cable tv channel and on Yavapai Broadcasting’s webtv station. The program will also appear on the Museum’s YouTube channel for later viewing and re-viewing. To access the program, visit SedonaMuseum.org and select the “Play Veterans Day Tribute” link.

The majority of this year’s program will spotlight two themes celebrating milestones in U.S. history.

Local veterans, like Fred Piper, the last Sedona boy who served during WWII, will have a virtual alternative to usual tribute at Museum.

The first focus will be the 100^th anniversary of the 19^th amendment to the U.S. Constitution giving women the right to vote. This honorary nod will take the form of interviews with two local women with service experiences, although very different. Col. Judith Patton, USAFR, Retired (1982–2014) will share some of her story as a female leader in the modern Air Force during her deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Next, Terrie Frankel will share memories from her USO tour in Vietnam during the Tet Offensive (1968).

Also, in tribute to 2020 being the 75^th anniversary of the end of WWII, Lieutenant General Richard Zahner, Retired U.S. Army (1976–2012) will share the proud history of Veterans Day.

The recorded show will include inspiring patriot music by Tom and Shondra Jepperson, and a message from Sedona Mayor Sandy Moriarty.

The Museum hopes to hold their usual in-person event and luncheon again in 2021, honoring veterans and active military of all U.S. service branches.

The program is underwritten by the City of Sedona, the Sedona Heritage Museum, Museum Board members and friends. For more information, call 928-282-7038.

As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
