ST. GEORGE – The Vietnam Veterans of America Southern Utah Chapter 961 and Zion Harley-Davidson have announced the return of “The Wall That Heals,” a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial that is permanently placed in the District of Columbia.
The memorial contains the names of over 58,000 American soldiers who were killed in the Vietnam War.
The scale replica is a traveling exhibition wall which allows Vietnam veterans, their families, friends and supporters an opportunity to pay tribute to their fallen comrades without having to travel all the way to the nation’s capital.
The wall will be arriving at Zion Harley-Davidson, 2345 N. Coral Canyon Blvd. in Washington City Wednesday and will be open for public viewing at 8 a.m. Thursday. An official opening ceremony will take place Thursday at 10 a.m. and a memorial ceremony will take place Saturday at 6 p.m. The wall will be available to view 24 hours a day until noon Sunday when it will be taken down.
The vehicle carrying the wall will receive a special escort into Washington City from members of the Patriot Guard Riders, Dixie Four Wheel Drive and others.
