The grand opening is part of Saturday's "Celebration of Freedom," which includes a military parade with floats dedicated to veterans, a motorcycle rally and musical entertainment including Wayne Newton.

Franks developed the initial "shock and awe" invasion of Iraq in March 2003 before retiring four months later.
The Wynnewood native was inducted into the Oklahoma Military Hall of Fame in November. He has a home in the southwestern Oklahoma town of Roosevelt.
