Peoria, Mar 5 2024 - A significant and poignant tribute is on its way to Pleasant Harbor in Peoria. The Wall That Heals, a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, will be on display at Lake Pleasant from April 11 to 14.

Standing at 375 feet long and reaching a height of 7.5 feet at its tallest point, the replica serves as a powerful reminder of the lives lost in the conflict.
