‘Moving Wall’ memorial is coming to Deerfield Valley

DOVER — American Legion Nelson E. Pickwell Post 15 is bringing the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall to the Deerfield Valley.

It will be on display from June 13-17, at Mount Snow's Howe Farm Field on Route 100.

“The Moving Wall” is the half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., that has been touring the country for more than 20 years. The American Legion invites everyone to share the experience of visiting the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, especially those without the opportunity to travel to Washington.

The display honors the men and women of the armed forces of the United States who served in the Vietnam War. The names of those who gave their lives - and of those who remain missing - are inscribed on the wall in the order they were taken from us.

The display will be open for five consecutive days and is appropriate for all ages.

The American Legion is seeking community volunteers for the event to assist with construction/assembly of the display, staffing, landscaping, lighting, and more. The Legion is also accepting financial donations to support this effort.
