Jack Caputo said “Franklin County probably has 100 vets. The youngest vet was 81 and the oldest was 97. Average age is 84/85. We take 100 vets and 62 guardians. The trip involves going to World War II monument, Korean and Vietnam monuments, city tour with a guide, Pentagon and National Cemetery at Arlington, a 12 minute program for changing of the guard, then the last stop is at Iwo Jima memorial.”
