This week marks the 100th anniversary of America's entry into World War I.  On Thursday, the National World War I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City hosted the national centennial commemoration - featuring music, dignitaries, and a flyover by eight jets from the Patrouille de France.  KPR's Kaye McIntyre was there and files this report.

 

Listen to KPR Presents Sunday evening at 7 o'clock for more information about the 100th anniversary of America's entry into World War I.
