On the 26th of April, a group of retired veterans who either served in the Korean, Vietnam, or Second World War were set out from Iowa, Illinois, & Florida to visit Washington DC for the first time.They visited sites such as memorials for the korean war, and the vietnamese war and other historical sites such as the Abraham Lincoln memorial and see the white house which were all within walking distance of each other. this was an initiative to give these elderly men a chance to relive their time in service and visit the historical sites which they never had the chance to visit even after they left service which is odd because war memorials are dedicated to honor the soldiers who served a particular war, to remember those who lost their lives, and to educate and remind the general public of its history. Among the Gentlemen whose communities raised money for their trip was the oldest veteran who is 97 years old and served in the second world war and the 4000th veteran to be enlisted ever for a war.
