Air Force Lt. Col. Eric Piel, a C-5 and C-17 cargo jet pilot with the 89th Airlift Wing based at Andrews Air Force Base, Md., will speak at the event.
Amanda Lane Wright, a great grandniece of the Wright brothers, and Col. Cassie Barlow, Wright-Patterson 88th Air Base Wing commander, will participate in the wreath laying. Park Superintendent Dean Alexander will present a presidential proclamation.
A World War II-era B-25 Mitchell bomber, based at Grimes Field in Urbana, will perform a fly over, weather-permitting.
