Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall will be on display and open 24 hours a day in Aledo’s Memorial Park starting at 6pm Thursday, June 3rd, through Sunday, June 6th. There will be volunteers available to assist in locating names on the wall and more. This is a free event for everyone.Find out more »
Now is the time to support and recognize those younger men and women, Newsom said. I think we just need to take time out and remember this generation, she said. I ve seen the healing that guys get at the Vietnam Wall when they go find somebody s name. I would like to see that happen with these guys. And hopefully it will.
Even if just one soldier visits the Remembering Our Fallen Memorial and finds peace and healing, Newsom said that will make all her and the committee s work over the past year worth it.
Newsom said she appreciates very much that the Remembering Our Fallen Memorial honors those who lost their life to suicide due to post-traumatic stress disorder or other mental struggles related to their military service.
