This $28 million addition to the Virginia War Memorial is just months away from completion. Begun in the summer of 2017, the two-year development will expand the shrine to recognize Virginians killed in the Global War on Terrorism, add a gallery to honor Virginians who have received the Medal of Honor, provide more exhibit space, create a 350-seat lecture hall and a studio for recording oral histories and provide 170 parking spaces underground. Public money and private donations are funding the project that will double the size of the nearly 70-year-old memorial at 621 S. Belvidere St. (Sandra Sellars/Richmond Free Press)
