“1 think we are going to spend an hour of so at the manorial itself” Brady said, “then drive down by die Korean War Memorial, which isn’t very far away and let anyone who wants walk around there for a while. We might have some dual (World War IE and Korea) members.”
“I got to thinking about this, and Tm passionate about it,” Talton said. I have taken my kids to D.C. on Veterans' Day for several years. They look forward to it and eryoy it, and we spend the day thanking as many [veterans] as we can. It’s an incredible experience.”
A Wachovia client, who has asked to remain anonymous, has donated the 1ms, and the bank is kicking in to cover the cost of a commemorative T-shirt, box lunches and bottled water.
Brady and Talton are anticipating that about 26 veterans will make the trip on the 54-seat bus, with the remainder of the vehicle reserved for guardians or assistants fin* the aging soldiers and two emergency health-care providers.
“If I can get more vets to go, and I can get some guardians to drive down or take the Metro down and meet us there, I will do that,” Brady said. If a veteran doesn’t have someone t» assist on the trip, Brady said that he has volunteers waiting in the wings. And, of course, he expects to ferry veterans in good health who do not need assistance.
The trip is free for veterans. Guardians will be asked for a free-will donation. Application can be downloaded from www.val6thdistrict.org/h0narbu8, and veterans and guardians are asked to have them submitted no later than Oct. 4.
Veterans do not have to be members of the American Legion to participate.
Brady believes that this will be the first of several trips.
