WILMINGTON, NC (2008-01-31) A half-sized replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is coming to Columbus County this fall.
The wall is one of two replicas of the Washington D.C. memorial that a small group of veterans rents to communities around the country. One of the replicas spent time in Myrtle Beach last year.
Anita Adams with the Columbus County Vietnam Veterans of America. She says the replica gives those who can't travel to see the D.C. Memorial a similar experience.
"This replica, as well as the one in Washington, has been referred to as the healing wall," Adams says, "and I think it just kinda brings some peace of mind to those who did serve there."
Adams says the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall will be free for the public during the second week of October. She says the group is putting up 14-thousand dollars to bring the "Moving Wall."
