What is The Wall That Heals?

The Wall That Heals is a three-quarter scale traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. It honors the men and women who sacrificed themselves in the Vietnam War.

More information on The Wall That Heals can be found here.

 

The exhibit consists of the replica of the original Wall That Heal and the mobile Education Center. The exhibit is open to the public day and night throughout the visit.

The travelling exhibit was in Indiana from Thursday, October 10, to Sunday, October, 13, in Mack Park. Visits to the site were 24/7 starting at midnight on Wednesday to Sunday at 3 p.m.

A procession of over 75 motorcycles and cars, lead by Sheriff Fyock, escorted The Wall That Heals into Mack Park on October 8 at 4:30 p.m. It traveled down Philadelphia Street to Mack Park. 

 

Many people waving American flags lined Philadelphia Street to pay tribute at 4:30 p.m. on October 8th. 

Forty-one Indiana County residents were killed or missing in action, and will be featured on The Wall That Heals.
