Vietnam Veterans Moving Wall Memorial rolls into Union

A small but spirited crowd of patriotic Americans attended the arrival and opening ceremony of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the evening of Thursday, May 18. The half-size traveling replica gave veterans and their families, scholastic ROTC units, police officers, firefighters, local residents, out-of-towners and a variety of political and military dignitaries the opportunity to pay their respects to the more than 58,000 fallen United States soldiers of the Vietnam War whose names are etched into the wall’s many interlocking panels. The sprawling memorial was assembled within Biertuempfel Park on Wednesday, May 17, and remained open to the public for 24 hours a day through the closing noontime remarks on Monday, May 22.
