 The Wall That Heals The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s Traveling Wall Vietnam Veterans Chapter 751 is sponsoring a return of The Wall That Heals to Lawton/Fort Sill.
The Wall That Heals, a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC, will be on exhibit March 18-21 at Elmer Thomas Park.
The Wall That Heals also features a Traveling Museum and Information Center. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund unveiled The Wall That Heals on Veterans Day 1996. The Wall That Heals travels to communities across the United States, touching Americans with its message of honor and healing. It is visited by thousands of people, many of whom would not otherwise have an opportunity to experience the power of The Wall in Washington, D.C. The Wall That Heals offers our nation an opportunity for the souls enshrined on the Memorial to journey back to the places they called home, to exist among friends and family once more, not in a monumental city, but in the comfort and peace of familiar surroundings.
