WASHINGTON, D.C. (CBS) – A Philadelphia veterans' organization is looking for World War II veterans to participate in "a day of honor and recognition."

On Tuesday, Pa. Senator Pat Toomey announced that Honor Flight Philadelphia is looking for WWII vets who want to travel to Washington, D.C. to view the memorials dedicated to their service and sacrifice.

The trips are offered at no cost to veterans, and the next Honor Flight Tour of Honor will be on November 2, 2013. Transportation, breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided, as will memorabilia of the day.

A Hero's Welcome at home and a USO-style show featuring The Manhattan Dolls singing 1940s hits are also on the schedule.
