World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War veterans in the Richmond area are being sought for a free trip to visit the war memorials of Washington, D.C., courtesy of Old Dominion Honor Flight.

The trip is free for qualifying veterans, with breakfast, lunch and dinner provided along with an ODHF shirt and jacket. Each veteran will be accompanied by a guardian who will be their personal escort for the day.

Veterans who qualify will be able to visit the National Museum of the Marine Corps, the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetery for the Changing of the Guard Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Two buses will be available for Richmond-area veterans, with space for 20 to 25 veterans and 20 to 25 guardians on each one. World War II veterans will be given seating and space priority.
