Salute to Service Reunion Celebration
The Virginia War Memorial Foundation is proud to announce the Salute to Service Reunion Celebration program.
Salute to Service is a multi-year program dedicated to providing a venue and program reuniting Virginia veterans with their units and the American conflicts in which they served. The inaugural program will be on March 21, 2026, to commemorate 35 years since Operation Desert Storm.
Salute to Service will provide veterans and their families with a day of celebration and remembrance of a major conflict, all while fostering an atmosphere of peer support, camaraderie, and historical reflection.
The program will consist of speakers, moderated discussions, musical performances, and documentaries, providing rich context and a broad perspective of what Virginia veterans experienced in their campaigns and the people with whom they served. A wreath-laying ceremony and free time on the Virginia War Memorial’s grounds, located at 621 South Belvidere Street in Richmond, Virginia, will also allow veterans to remember and honor those who did not return. The shared history of veterans, and the public’s understanding of it, will be enhanced through individual oral histories, photographs, and artifacts.
