The Moving Wall

This is awesome.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience for many.

A replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. is here in the West Valley.

"The Moving Wall" is in Goodyear starting at noon on October 2 through noon on October 6. It's located just west of Starpointe Residents Club at 17665 W. Elliot Rd in Estrella. It's open 24 hours a day with tour guides available from 8am - 8pm.

And it's free.

 

I had the privilege of seeing the actual Wall when I was in 8th grade.

My mom asked me to find the name of a young man who had grown-up in her home town.

My teacher, Mr. Jarvis, used his cane to point to the name.

That visit made an impression on me.

 

 

The Moving Wall will hold a series of ceremonies, including:

• Opening Ceremony – October 3 at 9 a.m.
• POW/MIA remembrance and candlelight vigil – October 4 at 6 p.m.
• Sunday sunrise prayer service – October 5 at 6:30 a.m.
• Closing ceremony – October 6 at 9 a.m.

Please take advantage of this opportunity to remember why we're free;

to show your children what it means to be patriotic;

to thank God for heroes.
