Traveling Memorial Wall "Reflection on Vietnam"

We are excited to announce the Martin County Vietnam Veterans, Chapter 1041 and the Veterans Council of Martin County will be hosting ?Reflections on Vietnam" featuring "The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall" at Halpatiokee Park in Stuart Florida on October 25, 2012 through October 28, 2012. This four day event will begin Thursday and Friday focusing on educating school children by inviting them to visit the Wall and learn about Our American Servicemen and Women. Seminars will be given by Veterans to teach the history of the Vietnam War and other Veterans will be on hand to share their stories. We will also add entertainment from military bands and local school bands. The children will leave so excited that they will invariably bring Mom and Dad back on Saturday for the Opening Ceremony and Entertainment. The most gratifying part of this is event is that we will be educating our children by showing them something they may otherwise never have a chance to see in Washington DC. This will be a TERRIFIC opportunity for individuals and businesses to advertise to the community at a great special event. We would be honored to have you and/or your company involved in the event by showing support to the community and our American Heroes through sponsorship.
