The Moving Wall Veterans Memorial

â&#x20AC;˘

Rio Vista Park Â Sept. 5th-9th, 2019 The Moving Wall is a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. It was devised by John Devitt after he attended the 1982 annual commemoration ceremonies celebrated in Washington for Vietnam veterans. He felt that he needed to share his experience with those who did not have the opportunity to go to Washington.

Two structures of The Moving Wall now travel the United States from April through November, spending 5 or 6 days at each site. Now is your chance to experience the historic Wall for yourself.
