Vietnam Wall Arrives in Excelsior Springs | Kansas City News

A powerful 300-foot replica of the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall has arrived in Excelsior Springs, bearing the names of 58,281 fallen heroes. Brought into town with a police escort and greeted by cheering crowds, the wall — assembled over two years by volunteers through rain and dedication — stands at Piburn Ballfield 24/7 until Monday. It’s a moving tribute to Vietnam veterans, many of whom went unrecognized upon return, offering locals a chance to honor their sacrifices and remember loved ones. Complementing the display, the local museum’s exhibit “Not Forgotten: Local Stories of the Vietnam War Era” invites visitors to connect with history and find peace in remembrance. If you’re nearby, this is your chance to pay your respects — day or night, the wall is open and waiting. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
