Murphy — During public comment on Oct. 21, Mary Lang, who said she serves on the Murphy Veterans Tribute Board, updated Council on local arrangements for the traveling Vietnam Wall and invited residents to the display and ceremonies.

Lang told council the traveling Wall will arrive Tuesday, Oct. 28, escorted into town, be set up Wednesday and available for viewing 24 hours a day through Sunday. She said the closing ceremony will be Sunday at 1:45 a.m. (transcript time phrasing reflects the public comment), and that the lead speaker for the Thursday 6 p.m. welcoming and opening ceremony will be Rick Grady, who Lang said served with more than 100 veterans whose names appear on the Wall.

Lang thanked the council and invited the community to attend the display and ceremonies. No council action was required; the remarks were an informational public announcement entered into the meeting record.
