Half-size Moving Wall to visit St. Albans June 25–29, VFW coordinates opening ceremony
Summary
Council members announced the Moving Wall, a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, will be displayed in St. Albans June 25–29 with an opening ceremony June 27; the VFW is coordinating volunteers, and donations and ticket sales will offset costs.
A half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, commonly called the "Moving Wall," will be displayed in St. Albans from June 25 through June 29, with an opening ceremony scheduled for Saturday, June 27, council members said.
A local VFW post is coordinating the event. Council members said volunteers are needed to help greet visitors, act as greeters and provide basic event support. The transcript notes organizers expect volunteers to assemble the wall on arrival (assembly typically takes about three hours) and that the wall will be staged on property near the former Kmart site with a view of the river and the rocket monument.
Tickets will be sold to help offset costs and residents were encouraged to contact the VFW for donations and volunteer information. Council members described the exhibit as a reverence and vigil site and encouraged attendance.
Next steps: volunteer sign-ups and donation coordination will be managed by the VFW and local organizers; details and ticket information were discussed as part of council announcements.
