The monument also represents the Red Tail Pilots of the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II, who fought through racial discrimination and adversity.
Lockheed Martin helped sponsor the event as a show of appreciation for the men and women who protect our nation.
Attending the ceremony is free, but entrance into the center requires tickets. Veterans and active military personnel who show their military ID can receive 50% off admission through Nov. 19.
