ALEDO, Ill. A traveling Vietnam memorial wall is set up near the corner of Third Street NW and Third Avenue NW in Aledo this weekend.
It is the first time a traveling memorial has made a stop in Aledo in conjunction with the Rhubarb Fest event.
The replica is about 80 percent of the size of the national memorial in Washington, D.C. It is about 8 feet high in the center, and slopes down out to the edges.
