The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall from Vietnam and All Veterans of Brevard, Inc. are currently presenting communities countrywide with the opportunity to respectively honor the service men & women of the Vietnam War. The Memorial Wall is at a 60% scale reproduction of the original, which is located in Washington. This event allows local viewers to visit and pay their respects while enjoying the convenience of not having to travel across the country. Standing six feet tall and three hundred feet long, an inscribed chronological list displays over 58,000 Americans we have lost to conflict in Southeast Asia.

Arrival of the wall is scheduled for April 8th, on the FAU campus, where the Jupiter Police Department will escort the delivery & volunteers will set it into place. Viewing hours will be from 9:00am – 9:00pm April 9th-12th to the public, while veterans will have 24-hour accessibility until the closing on the 13th.
