Description:
Of all the war memorials, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial - the Wall - arguably invokes the strongest emotional reaction of any and it is the single most visited memorial in the country. In order to allow more people to experience it, veterans organizations have created 3/5 scale versions that now travel the country making appearances at various events. Just the presence of the Wall draws thousands of visitors at every location. It is not merely something that is seen - it is something that is
experienced.
Please join us for the opening ceremony of this extraordinary event. Guess speakers include Congressman Mark Udall, Thornton Mayor Erik Hansen, Vietnam veteran Steve Greene and our Honorary Chairperson and combat veteran, Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman.
