B-1 flyover to highlight veterans ceremony

The Rapid City Journal - 8/6/2017

A crew from the 28th Bomb Wing is scheduled to conduct a B-1 flyover above Main Street in Sturgis at 3 p.m. Tuesday as part of the 17th annual Veterans Recognition Ceremony.

The flyover will cap off an event recognizing Rapid City veteran Stan Lieberman, who is one of two remaining Pearl Harbor attack survivors living in South Dakota. He entered the military Sept. 20, 1940, and was attending training as a photographer at Wheeler Army Airfield in Wahiawa, Hawaii, when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

The event honoring Lieberman will begin at Ellsworth Air Force Base with the Dakota Thunder Motorcycle Ride hosted by the Green Knights Dakota Thunder Motorcycle Association, an international group for all military members.
