The Wall That Heals, a traveling half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, will be on display at the Illinois AMVETS State Headquarters May 10 - 13 as part of a national tour.

The exhibit, sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, is the only Wall replica that also includes a traveling museum and an information center. The traveling museum tells the story of the Vietnam War, The Wall, and the Era, and is contained in nine display windows on the sides of the trailer that transports The Wall. A computerized information center allows visitors to find information about the more than 58,000 named on the Memorial.

Those with a photo of a service member listed on The Wall are welcome to bring it to the traveling exhibit and have it scanned while they wait. VVMF has launched a national call for photos to collect pictures of all those named on The Wall – for use in the Education Center at The Wall, an underground learning facility being built on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., and online at the VVMF’s Virtual Memorial Wall online. Photos can also be submitted online at vvmf.org/photos.

 

VVMF Thanks the National Sponsors for The Wall That Heals
