Andalusia Area Chamber of Commerce: Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall

There are 58,320 names on The Vietnam Wall. They are the names of men and women who answered the call of their country and sacrificed their lives in so doing. 

The City of Andalusia and Covington Veterans Foundation are hosting the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall this week, a 3/5ths replica of The Wall in Washington, and we need just a few more names of people willing to volunteer to assist those who will come to Andalusia to pay tribute to the men and women whose names are on that wall. 

Our commitment is that there will be someone there to assist visitors 24/7. We need a few more volunteers, and specifically some more who are willing to help us with the midnight - 6 a.m. shift. 

If you can do a couple of hours, please reach out to us through messenger, or by calling 334.428.1143. 

Our hope is that in hosting The Vietnam Memorial Traveling Wall, we will provide access to the memorial to many who have not been able to visit Washington D.C., and provide some healing for those who were affected by the war, either by loss or by service.
