Vietnam Memorial - The Moving Wall Replica

The Moving Wall, an exact replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., is coming to New Boston, Texas the weekend of September 4 thru 8, 2025. It will be on display at the "Midway", just east of the Pavilion, right on Rt 82 in town. This 252 foot display is an exact replica of the original Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C..

It was created back in 1983 by Vietnam Veteran John Devitt and other veterans who visited the Memorial in D.C. They realized many people wouldn't be able to travel to Washington to see it. After several attempts of creating that beautiful sheen and etchings, so people can rub the name of their loved ones on a sheet of paper on the travel panels, it was finished and first displayed in Tyler, Texas in 1984. https://www.newbostontx.org/The-Moving-Wall-Vietnam-Memorial.html
