Governor Perry to welcome Captain Sullenberger to Denison June 6th
Governor Rick Perry will be on hand in Denison, Texas this Saturday, June 6th, to welcome Captain Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger back to the Lone Star State.
Captain Sullenberger, the heroic pilot who saved the lives of 155 Americans when he safely landed his crippled jetliner in the Hudson River, will be the honored guest at a D-Day celebration of heroes and veterans at Denison’s historic Katy Depot at 2 p.m.
The free public ceremony is the first of two guest appearances Captain Sullenberger will make in Denison on June 6th. Following the 2 p.m. D-Day celebration, Captain Sullenberger will deliver the Commencement Address at Denison High School graduation ceremonies beginning at 8:30 p.m. at Munson Stadium.
TV to carry Sullenberger’s Heroes Celebration, DHS graduation
All of the Denison ~ Home of Heroes and DHS graduation ceremonies, both featuring special guest and hometown hero Captain Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger on Saturday, June 6th, will be available live throughout the world, courtesy of KTEN-TV and KTEN.com. The events will be streamed live via the internet as well as broadcast locally on KTEN's Digital Channel 10.3.
KTEN & KTEN.com will offer live streaming of the public D-Day celebration on June 6th at 2 p.m. at the Katy Depot, honoring all veterans and heroes with guest of honor Captain Sullenberger. The live streaming will also cover Denison High School graduation ceremony as well as Captain Sullenberger’s commencement address later that evening at 8:30 p.m. Both will be broadcast in their entirety. KTEN will also provide pool audio and video feeds to members of the media and other entities attending the events.
“Some of our students have family members who live out of state and cannot come to graduation, and I would guess that are veterans around the country who can’t come to the heroes celebration at the Katy Depot,” said DISD Superintendent Dr. Henry Scott. “KTEN is giving everyone the opportunity to join in these historic celebrations. We’re very grateful for this…and we’re also looking forward to hearing what Captain Sullenberger has to say to our students.”
