Connections:
The HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Module has 4 pins, Ground, VCC, Trig and Echo. The Ground and the VCC pins of the module needs to be connected to the Ground and the 5 volts pins on the Arduino Board respectively and the trig and echo pins to any Digital I/O pin on the Arduino Board.

The HC-SR04 sensor attach to the Breadboard
The Sensor VCC connect to the Arduino Board +5V
The Sensor GND connect to the Arduino Board GND
The Sensor Trig connect to the Arduino Board Digital I/O 9
The Sensor Echo connect to the Arduino Board Digital I/O 10

LCD Display Connection:
Before wiring the LCD screen to your Arduino or Genuino board we suggest to solder a pin header strip to the 14 (or 16) pin count connector of the LCD screen.
To wire your LCD screen to your board, connect the following pins:

LCD VSS pin to Arduino GND
LCD VDD pin to Arduino 5V
LCD VO pin to 10k Potentiometer center pin
LCD RS pin to digital pin 1
LCD RW pin to Arduino GND
LCD Enable pin to digital pin 2
LCD D4 pin to digital pin 4
LCD D5 pin to digital pin 5
LCD D6 pin to digital pin 6
LCD D7 pin to digital pin 7
The 10k Potentiometer other legs connect to +5V and GND
For the backlight of the display, pin 15 (A+) and 16 (K-) of the LCD connect to +5V and GND

If you want, can be use a 220 ohm resistor to power the backlight of the display.
