This past weekend, 111 Vets, Caregivers and Volunteers, media and drivers all went to Washington to honor the Vets at their memorials. With one WWII Veteran, one Korean War Veteran, and 43 Vietnam/Vietnam era Veterans on board, we made our way to DC for the trip of a lifetime which was highlighted by the laying of a wreath at the Tombs of the Unknown Soldiers and ceremonies at the Vietnam Wall.
We will have many stories to publish and links to many, many pictures of the trip -- from send-off to welcome home. Stay tuned. In the meantime, here are just a few pictures from the day. Enjoy and stay tuned.
