The first-ever STEMLiner Aviation Expo at the Branson Airport drew a huge crowd.

The event, put on by the Tribute to Valor Foundation, featured many military aircraft and other equipment that attendees got a first hand look at as well as military personnel to talk about the equipment and their roles in operating it. The event was in conjunction with Armed Forces Day as well as a preview event in advance of the over 70 students that leave today for a four-day-trip to visit the Johnson Space Center in Houston. 

The Tribute to Valor Foundation, founded by Medal of Honor Recipient Gary Littrell, helps young people get opportunities to explore their gifts and how they can be of service to the country. 

More details on Saturday's event can be found on the City of Branson's Facebook Page.
