The Virginia World War I and World War II Commemoration Commission (the Commission) was created by the General Assembly during the 2016 Session by expanding the existing World War II 75th Anniversary Commission to include observances of the 100th anniversary of World War I. The Commission is led by Delegate M. Kirkland Cox, Chairman, and Senator Frank M. Ruff, Jr., Vice-Chairman, and members of the General Assembly, including Delegate Richard L. Anderson, Delegate John M. O’Bannon III, Senator Bryce E. Reeves, and Delegate Marcus Simon. The commissioner of the Department of Veterans Services, the executive director of the Virginia War Memorial, and noted historians also serve on the Commission.
