Details about the The Wall That Heals Display 

The Wall That Heals honors the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed forces in the Vietnam War and bears the names of the 58,381 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. 

The Wall That Heals is transported from community to community in a 53-foot trailer.  When parked, the trailer opens with exhibits built into its sides, allowing it to serve as a mobile Education Center telling the story of the Vietnam War, The Wall and the divisive era in American history.

The three-quarter scale Wall replica is 375 feet in length and stands 7.5 feet high at its tallest point. Visitors will experience The Wall rising above them as they walk towards the apex, a key feature of the design of The Wall in D.C. Visitors are able to do name rubbings of individual service member’s names on The Wall.

The mobile Education Center exhibit includes:

• Digital photo displays of “Hometown Heroes,” service members whose names are on The Wall that list their home of record from Riverside County.
• Digital photo displays of Vietnam veterans from the state of California honored through VVMF’s In Memory program which honors veterans who returned home from Vietnam and later died as a result of their service.
• Video displays that teach about the history and impact of The Wall.
• Educational exhibits told through items representative of those left at The Wall in D.C.
• A replica of the In Memory plaque.
• A map of Vietnam and a chronological overview of the Vietnam War.

The exhibits tell the story of the Vietnam War, The Wall and the era surrounding the conflict, and are designed to put American experiences in Vietnam in a historical and cultural context.
