Huntsville, Alabama, was
honored to display the Moving Vietnam Veterans Wall, a
half-size replica of the memorial in Washington, D.C. Two
structures of the Moving Wall travel the United States
April through November, spending a week at each site.
Our chapter honored these veterans on October 27, 2000,
at Big Spring Park.
Children
of the American Revolution, led by Carroll Strickland of
the Huntsville Chapter (who also donated the 100+
sand-filled paper bags containing votive candles),
placed the lighted tribute to these men and women who
gave their lives for our country. Twickenham Town Chapter members Jeanne
Henry and Ann Lusk presented a beautiful floral
arrangement, and C.A.R. members presented a patriotic wreath.
