The Wall That Heals, a traveling three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, opened to the public Thursday (June 12) at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, marking a rare opportunity for local residents to experience the memorial outside its usual touring schedule.
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) relocated several of its annual ceremonies from the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to Alexandria due to logistical challenges posed by the scheduled military parade.
