THE WALL THAT HEALS coming to the St. George, Utah area March 16-19, 2017.

 

2017 marks the 35th Anniversary of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and once again, the traveling exhibit allows a visit to my cousin Randolph Edwin Graves as it makes its way close to where I live in southern Utah. I know his location by heart due to several meetings and encourage everyone to stop in, spend a little time viewing the wall, talk to the volunteers and Vets.

 

 

 

The exhibit honors the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces in the Vietnam War and holds the names of the more than 58,000 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.

 

VVMF continues to lead the way in paying tribute to our nation’s Vietnam veterans and their families. VVMF works to honor, preserve, and educate to ensure that current and future generations never forget the service and sacrifice of those who came before them.

 

“Taking The Wall That Heals on the road gives thousands more veterans and their family members an opportunity to see The Wall and honor those who have served and sacrificed so much,” said Jim Knotts, president and CEO of VVMF. “It helps veterans from all of America’s conflicts to find healing and a powerful connection through their common military experiences.”

 

Host: Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 961 Location: Zion Harley Davidson 2345 N Coral Canyon Blvd Washington, UT 84780

This is a great teaching tool about love, duty, honor and sacrifice for younger generations Sharon Lee. I remember crying when my cousin said he'd come back because I loved him so much! I still cry when I think of him and wonder what kind of life he'd have if he would have returned alive. Thank you for stopping by!

Wanda I have not heard of this Traveling Wall... keep in mind I was at the USMA when the TVs were showing how the US Embassy was being evacuated  from the roof top with helicopters.... a total disgrace as a nation who is now starting to recognize these hero's... but what do I know I am just an Airborne Ranger Infantry CPT who missed out on this debacle...Endre

Good morning Wanda.  When I see those who burn the flag in protest I would like to take them and do unspeakable things.  Those who gave the ultimate sacrifice gave those idiots the right to burn it.  You get my drift don't you?

The Wall that Heals helps the friends and family of the fallen to visit and give repects to their loved ones Endre Barath, Jr.. When my dad and uncle came back, they were not treated well but things have changed, thankfully. Our military people step up when others do not dare! Thank you for your service.

You and I are on the same mindset on this one James Dray. My Uncle Robert never came back from Korea, was held prisoner, most likely tortured and my cousin (his only son) was KIA in Vietnam. I am very patriotic and know how good we have it in the United States of America!

That is a great way to have families that may not have the means to visit a permanent structure get a chance to pay a last homage to a family member or friend

It really is Ed Silva.  Glad it makes the rounds when it does to help those who willnever see the memorial in Washington D.C.. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund retweeted my post, how exciting is that?
