Johns Creek Veterans Memorial Walk/ The Wall that Heals

3150 Old Alabama Road, Johns Creek, GA 30022

The Veterans Memorial Walk at Newtown Park stands as symbol of remembrance and respect for all the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Services. It is the second largest, privately funded memorial of this kind outside of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The four-acre memorial features a hardscaped trail, circling a peaceful fountain, sponsored granite benches, a grand entrance plaza, and wooden gazebo. Along the trail, black granite monuments pay homage to each conflict, beginning with WWI and include special monuments for Purple Heart Recipients, POW/MIAs, and Women in Service. The Memorial Walk is sponsored by the Johns Creek Veterans Association and the organization works to ensure the entire memorial is constructed and maintained using donations.

The Wall That Heals is a 250-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial honoring the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed forces in Vietnam. It bears the names of the more than 58,000 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.

The Wall That Heals was previously a traveling memorial and made a week-long visit in Johns Creek in 2017. In 2018, the City of Johns Creek announced the permanent home for the replica will be inside the Veterans Memorial Walk inside Newtown Park.

In the past year, a new 501c3 foundation has been created called The Colonel’s Foundation, Inc. This foundation is dedicated to locating and supporting homeless verterans suffering from PTSD and other related issues.
