The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is an 80 percent replica of the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C.
The Fall River wall is located at Bicentennial Park and a volunteer committee heading the project is hoping for a dedication ceremony this spring.
The $1.4 million project began more than two years ago and faced some ups and downs, but Committee President Joe Marshall and others persevered, and it s now on the doorstep of completion.
Marshall spoke with
Townsquare Sunday this week about the making of the wall, plans for the dedication, and fundraising efforts. The interview can be heard here:
