The Wall That Heals, Vietnam Memorial model, coming to BG Display will be at Aviation Heritage Park September 24-27, 2009 and wil be open 24 hours a day. By Keirsten Jaggers BOWLING GREEN, KY - The Wall That Heals, a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., will be visiting South Central Kentucky September 24 - 27, 2009. Open and manned 24 hours a day, The Traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial is being brought to Bowling Green by Aviation Heritage Park and will be set up at the park located at 1825 Three Springs Road (the corner of Three Springs and Smallhouse Roads) in Bowling Green. On Veterans Day 1996, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund unveiled the half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., designed to travel to communities throughout the United States. "Bringing The Wall Home" to communities throughout our country allows the souls enshrined on the Memorial to exist, once more, among family and friends in the peace and comfort of familiar surroundings. The traveling exhibit, known as The Wall That Heals, allows the many thousands of veterans who have been unable to cope with the prospect of "facing The Wall" to find the strength and courage to do so within their own communities, thus allowing the healing process to begin. The Wall That Heals also features a Traveling Museum and Information Center providing a comprehensive educational component to enrich and complete visitors' experiences. The Museum chronicles the Vietnam War era and the unique healing power of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, while the Information Center serves as a venue for people to learn about friends and loved ones lost in the war. In addition to The Wall That Heals and the Traveling Museum, the board of directors of Aviation Heritage Park has ordered 17 inscribed bricks for Warren County veterans killed in action in Vietnam who have not already been so honored. The bricks will be installed in the side yard of the Warren County Courthouse in a special brick-laying ceremony on September 25. An Opening Ceremony is scheduled for 10:00amCT September 24,. 2009, and a very special closing ceremony is currently in the planning stages for the evening of September 27, 2009. "It is expensive and takes many volunteer man-hours to erect, man and disassemble The Wall," according to AHP's Ray Buckberry. "Any individual or group who can help with either the financial or manning needs of The Wall is asked to contact AHP at 270-842-4953 or via e-mail at r.buckberry@insightbb.com," he said.
