For our small community!

Nice !

Something to see for sure the hosts will give you a lot of history about the wall a very moving site to see, it was here a couple years ago glad I was able to pay my respects in person and learn more about it!

I'd like to see it .......I think !

Just seeing all of those names on that long wall will choke a guy up!

I would love to see it also .

If you get a chance go out and view it at midnight. It brought the wife and I to tears. It's very special moment.

Everyone should get a chance to visit it.

If you are ever in New Mexico visit this Memorial between Angel Fire and Eagles Nest.

I visited it when Dr. Westfall was in the final stages of completing the chapel. Very moving.

The wall will touch you in a way you never thought was possible. It touches you more when you have relation and many friends on the wall. It will humble the toughest of men.

Here is more information for anyone interested in viewing.

CRIVITZ, Wis. (WBAY) -- Crivitz has a population of less than 1,000 people, but village leaders are busy preparing to host nearly 15,000 guests Labor Day weekend.

The Wall That Heals
“We got a call this past summer asking us if we would be able to host it and we of course said yes,” said John Deschane, the village president.

Nearly three years in the making, the Wall That Heals -- a three quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. -- will be on display in Crivitz.

“It's emotional, it tugs on my heartstrings,” said Deschane. “I was there, I’ve got a classmate whose name is on that wall, I’ve got some people in the area who served over there whose names are on the wall.”

A Vietnam Veteran himself, Deshcane is happy people in his community will be able to honor others who served.

“We're actively seeking names of people from our area and we're going to have a display of those names that have died from Vietnam related conditions. We want to be able to welcome them home and say thank you for your service,” said Deschane.

Some businesses, such as the Iceburg, are also looking forward to the event and will be offering up something special for veterans.

“We are running a 25 percent off for veterans and active military members. We are starting on August 30 and the discount goes until September 2,” said Jennifer Bahrke, co-owner of the Iceburg.

A caravan will bring the wall through several towns in Marinette County on Tuesday, August 28 before making its final stop at Community Veterans Park where the wall will be set up.

“We're leaving Menominee Michigan around 5 p.m. and will be crossing into Marinette about 5:10 p.m. We'll be in Peshtigo about 5:20 p.m., in Coleman in Pound about 5:30, arrive in Crivitz about 6:15 p.m.” said Deschane.

The opening ceremony will be on Thursday, August 30 at 9 a.m.

The wall will be on display from August 30 to September 2.

Governor Scott Walker, Congressmen Mike Gallagher are expected to stop by the wall and give remarks on Saturday September 1.

Thank you for that information.

I would like to see the schedule for 2019 , what states to be presented in , if that is available yet....

It was in our town at least a decade ago. When you see the escalation of names, then all the names together on some very bad days over there, and see it eventually taper off, it has to choke you up if you are anywhere near the age I am, born in the 50's.
