“The Wall That Heals,” ia 3/4-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C., will be free to view 24 hours a day on museum grounds from Friday until 2 p.m. Monday. The names of more than 58,000 U.S. service members are inscribed on the replica’s 140 panels. Volunteers will be in place to help guests locate a veteran’s name from anywhere in the country and to share their veteran’s service photo, according to a museum release.
