MANNING, Iowa (KCCI) — A traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be displayed in two Iowa towns this month, offering visitors a chance to honor and learn about those who served.
“The Wall That Heals” is a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The wall will be outside IKM-Manning High School from July 23 through July 26. There will also be a mobile education center with interactive exhibits.
It is free to the public and will be open for visits 24 hours a day.
The wall will be escorted to Manning, starting at Tri-Center School in Neola at 10 a.m. on July 21. It will travel to Manning using Highway 191, and people can ride or line the route to escort the wall.
The Wall That Heals is looking for volunteers to assist visitors and help tear down the exhibit.
The Wall That Heals will also be in Brooklyn, Iowa, from July 30 to Aug. 2. It will be displayed for free, 24 hours a day during that period, at the BGM High School football field.
