The Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall in Fort Collins for Five Days, Including Memorial Day
Experiencing The Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall can be very powerful; it will be in Northern Colorado to do just that, for those who lost family members and friends in the Vietnam War.
58,267 servicemembers' names are on that wall, those who lost their lives, between 1957 and 1975 due to the war.
Veterans Plaza of Northern Colorado was dedicated in May of 2011, an incredible educational tool for children and adults to learn about the military heroes who are part of our nation’s history, and to recognize those who continue to serve and will serve in the future.
The Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall comes to Veterans Plaza at Spring Canyon Park every odd year, which 2025 is. Its five-day visit to the Choice City will see several events, including a Memorial Day ceremony on May 25.
