Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall Dedication Ceremony will take place at 10:00 AM at the National Infantry Museum on the Vietnam Memorial Plazalocated alongside Heritage Walk. The featuring guest speaker is COL. (Retired)) Jack Jacobs, Vietnam Medal of Honor recipient.
The Memorial features the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall, which is a 3/4-scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. For 23 years, the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall has traveled throughout our country to make the Wall experience real for those who had not had the opportunity to see the original Vietnam Wall in Washington D.C. And like the Wall in Washington, more than 58,000 names of patriots who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country are etched on it. Construction has begun at the museum to feature this Wall as part of the Vietnam Memorial Plaza. The plaza will be located alongside Heritage Walk, a walkway where thousands of pavers have been dedicated to honor AmericaÂ’s brave Veterans and patriots. |
