The Wall That Heals, Williamsburg, Virginia


"The Wall That Heals" is a half scale model of the Vietnam War Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.  It travels the country to bring the solemn experience of remembering more than 58,000 service members who lost their lives in the war.  The names are listed in chronological order of the date of the service members death. The replica is 250 feet long and arranged in a chevron pattern. A mobile museum is also part of the presentation.

The display is a moving yet somber experience.
