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:

When it comes to us men, there is always a constant edge that is living with us just below the skin level.
More times than not it’s what can make us great, but it’s also why we can suffer some epic failures. Let’s face it, folks comedian Tim Allen has made a boatload of money making us laugh at the way men are “wired,” sharing experiences and the love for extreme things and ideas that any sane man would know dang well would probably be better off left alone. We guys can all grunt in unison when we see the big and powerful or over-the-top experience succeed or go terribly wrong, and deep down inside, no matter the outcome, we would secretly say ‘heck, I could do that,’ or even worse, ‘if I’d done that, it wouldn’t have been a failure!’
