Traveling Wall
November 6th, 2008 by flanewsA group of Vietnam veterans traveled to the State Capitol today with the names of the American troops who never made it home. Members of the Vietnam Veterans of America set up a replica of the Washington D.C. Vietnam Memorial. Vietnam Veteran Chuck Royce hopes the country never forgets the troops who gave all.
“We want the public to recognize names and remember people and realize what it takes to have the freedom that we have in our country, that these people paid the ultimate sacrifice. Those of us who are still here honor them and we want people to know what they did and that they are not forgotten,” said Royce.
The wall will be on display at Lake Ella in Tallahassee now through Veteran’s Day.
