In June of 2009 Post 7589 in cooperation with American Legion Post 10 and several companies teamed together to provide Manassas area WWII Veterans a free trip to the War Memorials in Washington DC and Arlington Cemetary.  For many this was their first trip to see these attractions.  What ensued hovever, was a day where the Veterans themselves became as much of an attraction as the memorials.  Many visiters were enthralled to converse with some of the actual people who were involved in the events that are memorialized there.

The following video by filmmaker Rich West illustrates how multiple organizations were able to come together to make this event happen and documents the trip as well.
