The state fair is celebrating the men and women of the military for Armed Forces Day.

A ceremony at the Veterans Memorial paid tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for our country

The 2nd Marine Division Band performed the National Anthem and Gold Star Mothers took part in the wreath laying.

A big representation of our armed forces will be featured in the parade at 6:00 p.m.

Any active or former members of the military get into the fair for free with their IDs.
