8/22/14 - The Moving Wall replica of the National Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. is returning next week to Livingston County. The half-size replica of the famous monument will be on display starting Thursday, August 28th through Sunday the 31st at Bennett Park-West in Hamburg Township. The wall lists all 58,000-plus American causalities from the war. It originally came to Hamburg in 2010, but left such an impact that volunteers immediately applied to have the memorial return. It will be open 24 hours, all four days. The visit will include a reading of the names on the Wall, a military history exhibit with equipment, uniforms and other items, flyovers, special speakers and candlelight vigils. There will also a tribute Bob Hope USO concert at 8pm on Friday, August 29th and then again on Saturday, August 30th. A complete schedule and other details are available through the link below.
