AON Corporation Donates $25,000 Toward Partnership with The Wall That Heals

Washington, DC – On December 20, the AON Corporation contributed a $25,000 donation toward VVMF’s education programs, including The Wall That Heals, a travelling half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC, and the Education Center at The Wall, a place on our National Mall where our service-members’ stories and sacrifices will never be forgotten.

“We are honored to have a partnership with AON, and their incredibly generous donation ensures that our heroes who served in Vietnam are always remembered,” said Jan C. Scruggs, Founder and President of VVMF. 

Thanks to the support of AON, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund will be able to continue educating visitors to The Wall That Heals about the impacts, sacrifices, and heroism that arose out of the Vietnam War. 

VVMF would like to thank AON for its support, and looks forward to their partnership as we strive to construct the Education Center at The Wall, where the sacrifices of our military heroes will be appreciated and respected for generations to come.
