LAFAYETTE (AP) — A half-ale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be in Lafayette during November.
Volunteers are being sought to help honor the more than 58,000 veterans who gave their lives in the war.
Tom Grote, an Army veteran, told The Advocate the names will be read aloud around the clock.
The replica is a traveling exhibit called “The Wall That Heals” and will be on display at Greenlawn Memorial Gardens from Nov. 17 to 21.
It was created by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund.
