A busload of local WWII, Korean, Vietnam, peacetime veterans and local officials kicked off their journey to the nation’s capitol early Thursday morning, Sept. 21. At press time, the group was en route to Washington, D.C. to be honored at the memorials built in their honor. The trip will include a visit to the Capitol, a tour of the memorials, a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, and more. It is a journey they have earned and for many it will bring closure and peace, according to Veterans Services Officer Terry Pendergraft. Preble County Veteran Services plans trips such as this to show local veterans their sacrifices are appreciated. Contributions for future endeavors can be made via check to American Legion Post 322, C/O Veteran Services, 108 N. Barron St., Eaton, OH 45320. Watch for complete coverage of the trip in upcoming editions of The Register-Herald.
