The program is scheduled to include a presentation of colors by the Radford University Army ROTC Color Guard and music from the Radford High School Concert Choir. Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Richard S. Roszak is set to serve as the keynote speaker.

In Irvington, Rappahannock Westminster-Canterbury is preparing its annual Veterans Wall of Honor exhibit in the RWC Gallery Hall. The exhibit will feature stories and photographs of military veterans, including Col.
