The
City of Taylor Mill is proud to announce The Moving Wall, a replica of the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial, will be visiting Pride Park in Taylor Mill, KY from
Thursday, July 28th, 2016 through Monday, August 1st,
2016.
The purpose of The Moving Wall is to bring healing to Veterans, and
the family and friends of those who died or who remain missing as a result of
the Vietnam War. An estimated 15,000 individuals are expected to visit
The Moving Wall, many of which may never have the opportunity to see the Vietnam
Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. It is our hope that the memorial
will help heal some of the wounds of war, and help educate the community about
the war in Vietnam and its impact on our nation and our Veterans.
The Moving
Wall will be open to the public, 24 hours a day beginning with setup on the 28th
of July, through disassembly on the 1st of August. Within its
time at Pride Park, they will hold several events including an Opening Ceremony,
a Dedication Ceremony, and a Closing Ceremony. Click here to view the ceremony dates and times.
The
Moving Wall Project is seeking volunteers who are interested in providing
security, guidance, and emotional support to visitors during the duration of
its visit at Pride Park. The opportunities are endless for those of you wishing
