Public Veteran Events

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED.

A Noise-Free Twist at our Silent Salute to Freedom Fireworks
Free for military families! Register below to attend.

Over the years At Ease USA has heard that for many service members, the Fourth of July can be a troubling day, rather than a celebratory day of remembrance. The loud booming sounds can often trigger unwanted, painful memories and can even cause difficult physiological reactions. As a result, At Ease USA is creating a family friendly indoor Third of July event, where service members and their families can enjoy this day replacing the traditional “noises” of fireworks, with music, dancing, games, laughter, and more.

When: July 8th, 9:00 a.m.
Where: Nebraska State Capitol, Warner Chamber

On July 8th, Governor Jim Pillen will sign a proclamation recognizing July 27th as Korean War Veterans Armistice Day. If you would like to attend, please RSVP to NDVA by calling 402-219-1704 or emailing ndva@nebraska.gov.
