From Lebanon Daily News: Korean War veterans invited on trip

Twenty-four local veterans of the Korean War will join 24 Lebanon County high school students on an all-expenses-paid trip to the Korean War Memorial in Washington Oct. 26, thanks to the Lebanon County Salute to Veterans program.

Any Korean War veteran interested in participating should call Bob Black at 507-8907 or email him at tessnbob@comcast.net.

Each veteran is paired with a student for the day and is encouraged to meet with the student prior to the trip.

The program, which is affiliated with the Richland American Legion, honored World War II veterans last year.

The trip will leave from D.B. Fisher Bus Co., 1715 Grace Ave., North Lebanon Township, at 5:30 a.m. Oct. 26. Included will be a tour of the U.S. Capitol, a stop at Old Ebbitt Grill restaurant near the White House for lunch, and then a visit to the Korean War Memorial. The group will depart Washington at 6:30 p.m. and stop at Old Country Buffet in Laurel, Md., for dinner.

Anyone wishing to contribute to the program can send donations to: Richland American Legion, Attn. Korean War Veterans Trip, 8 W. New St., Richland, PA 17087.
