Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall Coming To Winchester

The Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall will be at the Winchester City Park Red Roof Pavilion from May 21 through May 26, 2015.
The wall is a 3/5 scale depiction of the original in Washington D.C. and is six feet in height at the center with a span of 300 feet from one end to the other. The names of over 58,000 soldiers who were lost are inscribed on the wall.
Viewers are reminded of the great sacrifices made during the Vietnam War, and the building of the wall was intended to promote healing, to allow soldiers to rekindle memories of friends that they lost, and to provide those who cannot travel to see the original an opportunity to honor hometown soldiers.
The traveling wall visited Manchester in 2009.
