Vietnam Wall Replica On Display In Eden



A traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial wall has arrived at the American Legion Post 880 on Legion Drive off Route 62 in Eden.

It was met Wednesday by hundreds of motorcycle riders who escorted it to the post in Eden, near Buffalo. It will be displayed there round-the-clock through Sunday

Traveling Vietnam
Memorial Wall

Where: Eden American Legion Post 880,
2912 Legion Dr.
(off Main Street/Route 62, near the Eden Post Office)

When: 12 noon Thursday through 3 pm Sunday
 		  
The memorial is a smaller version of the permanent Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington and is one of several traveling replicas. It includes every name on the National Wall in Washington DC.

About 80 percent the size of the original, it is 360 feet long and eight feet high at its center.

The panels are inscribed with the names of all 58,195 U.S service members killed in the Vietnam War.

Crews from the Eden VFW Post will help assemble the wall Thursday morning, before a millitary flyover and official opening ceremony at noon. The wall will remain on display until 3 pm Sunday.

How do you feel about allowing school districts a second vote on their budget plan?
  As long as it's a different plan it's ok.
  I'm ok with a 2nd vote for the same or a different plan.
  One vote and done!
