Experience "The Wall That Heals" in Waynesville: A Solemn Tribute and Reflection

This May, the city of Waynesville, Missouri, holds the distinguished honor of hosting The Wall That Heals, a traveling three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. From May 16th to 19th, 2024, residents and visitors will have the unique opportunity to engage with a poignant piece of our nation’s history, right in their backyard. This event marks the only Missouri location for The Wall That Heals in 2024, offering a rare and introspective experience into the legacy of the Vietnam War.

The Wall That Heals extends beyond a mere visit; it's an immersive experience fostering healing, education, and remembrance. It invites visitors to reflect on the sacrifices of the more than 58,000 names etched into its surface, honoring those who gave everything in service to their country. This exhibit, including a mobile Education Center, brings the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to communities across the country, allowing the souls enshrined on the Memorial to be remembered and celebrated far from their permanent home in the nation's capital.

Waynesville's rich military heritage, proximity to Fort Leonard Wood, and the deep respect within the community for our Armed Forces make it the perfect backdrop for this national treasure. As we prepare to welcome The Wall That Heals, we invite you to join us in this reflective journey—an opportunity not just to learn, but to pay respects, and perhaps, find a personal connection to the brave individuals commemorated.
