The UCM McClure Archives and University Museum will host The Wall That Heals, a mobile half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, in Washington, D.C., from June 29-July 2 on the lawn along the west side of the James C. Kirkpatrick Library. The exhibit is a program of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, the founders of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The exhibit includes a mobile Education Center and features photos of service members whose names are on The Wall, a timeline of the Vietnam era, and letters and memorabilia left at The Wall in D.C. The Wall That Heals will be open 24 hours a day during its stay in Warrensburg.
