RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The Virginia War Memorial embodies the poignant and powerful legacy of Virginians killed in combat in World War II and the nation’s wars since then.
Engraved on stone and glass walls at the memorial’s Shrine of Memory are nearly 12,000 names of the state’s service members who died in hostile action during World War II and the Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf wars.
