SEYMOUR — The Wall That Heals, a Vietnam Veterans Memorial replica and mobile education center, is coming to Jackson County on Wednesday.
It will be escorted by parade today on U.S. 50 from Tractor Supply Co., 2003 E. Tipton St., Seymour, to the Jackson County Fairgrounds in Brownstown.
Anyone wishing to escort the wall may meet at Tractor Supply Co. at 11:30 a.m. in the parking lot. The wall is scheduled to leave for Brownstown at 1 p.m. People are encouraged to line the parade route to support Vietnam veterans.
Assembly of the wall is set to start at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. If you or someone you know has a family member, friend or comrade whose name is on the wall, you are encouraged to come and install the panel containing that name.
After the last panel is installed at about 2 p.m. Wednesday, the wall will be open to visitors. It will then be open around the clock through 1:45 p.m. Sunday.
There will be a welcome home opening ceremony at 10 a.m. Thursday. All Vietnam veterans are invited to attend.
