On October 19 at 1 p.m., the sixth annual Hall of Honor Ceremony will induct four new honorees. The inductees are Lieutenant Colonel James McRoberts Dixon, Major General David M. Jones, Major General Charles A. Sams and Evergreen International Aviation Chairman, Timothy G. Wahlberg. Dick Rutan, Voyager Commander, will be the keynote speaker.
The veterans of the 101st Airborne Division, 506th PIR, E-Company, who were depicted in the critically acclaimed HBO mini-series "Band of Brothers" will join Evergreen Aviation Museum members for an exclusive event.
