Programming will also feature a large Declaration of Independence coloring station for children, a special musket firing demonstration in Alamo Plaza, and firing drills are appropriate for children.
The festivities will kick off with an inspiring musical performance by Fort Sam's 323d Army Band at 10 a.m. today.
