Photo of the Week: Assembling the Wall

As part of our Memorial Day observances, the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall will be at Veteran's Plaza through Monday. I'd heard about the traveling wall, but I didn't know until recently that it is just 20% smaller than the real wall. The assembly was only half-completed when I stopped by for a picture, but even that was much too long, with way too many names. It's a somber sight. 

The wall will be lighted and guarded 24 hours a day, and admission is free.
