SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Military veterans will be admitted free to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum on Veterans Day.

Featured that day will be a performance by a military band, the Airlifter Brass. There will also be a memorial flame burning outside the museum in downtown Springfield.

Veterans and active-duty personnel who want to be admitted free on Nov. 11 should bring a form of military ID.

The Airlifter Brass will perform from 2 to 3 p.m. It’s part of the Mid-America Air Force Band at Scott Air Force Base. Each of the ensemble’s performances is aimed at blending inspiration with entertainment.
