The Moving Wall will be remembered by many Chattanoogans

What a moving experience it was to bring The Moving Wall, the only replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to our city. The Moving Wall was visited by more than 30,000 people, which was one of the largest in its 32-year history.

The visit by The Wall enabled so many to bring closure since many Chattanoogans have been unable to visit the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington. The listing of 58,307 names served as a visible reminder to all of us that freedom isn’t free.

Many thanks to the volunteers, veterans, sponsors, the city of Chattanooga and Hamilton County for making the visit by The Moving Wall an event that will be remembered for a lifetime.
