Peoria residents and visitors will have the opportunity to pay their respects to the Vietnam Veterans as a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is set to be displayed in the area this week. The three-quarter scale replica, known as The Wall That Heals, will be located at Pleasant Harbor, Lake Pleasant, from April 11 to 14.
According to the announcement, the exhibit will be open for public viewing 24 hours a day, allowing individuals to visit and honor the memory of the 58,281 men and women who lost their lives in the Vietnam War. Standing at 375 feet long and 7.5 feet high at its tallest point, the replica aims to provide a solemn and reflective space for remembrance.
In addition to the memorial wall, there will also be a mobile Education Center as part of the exhibit. This educational component offers visitors a deeper understanding of the Vietnam War and its impact on the nation.
Those interested in organizing tours or group visits to The Wall That Heals can reach out to the Pleasant Harbor event line at 623.203.5173 or via email at phevents@pleasantharbor.com. This initiative aims to provide a meaningful experience for all those who wish to pay tribute to the veterans and learn more about this significant period in history.
