The Virginia War Memorial Foundation and the Virginia War Memorial invite Virginia veterans, their immediate family members, and those who directly supported the Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm conflict to submit a Request for Invitation. This will ensure that all Virginia veterans are included in this powerful program of remembrance, which will honor their service when invitations are extended in late 2025.

By submitting a request for invitation, Virginia veterans, their families, and those who supported Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm will be included in this significant program of remembrance. The program 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.

To ensure your participation, please provide the veteran's information when submitting the invitation request, including their full name, service details (branch, rank, unit designation, and component).

We look forward to honoring your service and the sacrifices made by Virginia’s veterans and their families.
