Some of them are going to Washington D.C. for the first time, while for others it'll be a welcomed trip back to the capital.
"I was stationed in Washington D.C. I know, and I have a son that lives there, he lives in Virginia, so I have visited him several times and then we went to Washington and saw the sights again. So I'm looking forward to going back again. It's a great town for liberty I tell you that," World War II vet. Dolores Julia Brennan said.
The veterans will return to the Valley on Wednesday, Oct. 3 at 6 p.m. People are encouraged to come out and give them a warm welcome home.
