The Wall That Heals: Here in Dayton
The exhibit, which travels across the country, will be officially available for viewing continuously from July 27 to July 30.
The Wall That Heals, a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and mobile education center, will be on display from July 27 to July 30 in Yankee Park, 7500 Yankee St.
The exhibit, which travels across the country, will be officially available for viewing continuously from July 27 to July 30.
We’ll construct it beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday (July 26), and it officially opens Thursday, July 27 (at) 10 a.m. with music, speeches, taps (and more),” Fultz said. It will be open 24 hours a day and the exhibit will close at 2 p.m. July 30.
The tribute also will feature a special “In Memory Honor Roll” highlighting photos of Vietnam veterans from Ohio who returned from the war but have died since due to Agent Orange, post-traumatic stress disorder and other illnesses as a result of their service.
“Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund believes all those who served in Vietnam should be honored and remembered for their service,” VVMF said on its website. “The ‘In Memory’ program enables the families and friends of those who came home and later died the opportunity to have them be forever memorialized.”
