The “Traveling Wall” will be in Monroe Louisiana, on Veterans Day this year also. Dr. Kelley Pears, Psychologist and PTSD/SUD Specialist in the PTSD Clinical Team at the VA in Alexandria, noted that a group from Alexandria will be traveling to see the exhibition in Monroe.
The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is a 3/5 scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those in the Vietnam War, and honors the courage, sacrifice and devotion to duty of Vietnam Veterans. The names of the men and women who gave their lives in the Vietnam War, or who remain missing, are engraved on the Wall.
The Monroe exhibit will be from November 8 to 11, at the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum.
