Facts about the Vietnam Traveling Wall

• The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
• ​It’s meant to honor the memory of over 58,000 service members who died or went missing during the Vietnam War.
• The original wall in D.C. has 70 panels (each side has 35); the traveling version, being slightly smaller in scale, uses 58 panels to represent the same 58,000+ names.
• The wall travels to different communities across the United States to give people who can’t visit D.C. a chance to experience the memorial.
• The wall is a 3/5 scale replica of the original.
• It stands 6 feet tall at its highest point and stretches almost 300 feet in length.
• Just like the D.C. wall, the names are listed in the order of casualty date, not alphabetically.
• The Traveling Wall is maintained by Vietnam and All Veterans of Brevard (VVB), a veteran organization based in Florida.
• ​It was built in the mid-2000s to increase awareness and promote healing in communities nationwide.
