About The Moving WallTM
"The Moving Wall" is the half-size replica of
the Washington, DC Vietnam Veterans Memorial and has been touring
the country for more than twenty years. When John Devitt attended
the 1982 dedication in Washington, he felt the positive power of
"The Wall." He vowed to share that experience with those who did not
have the opportunity to go to Washington.
John, Norris Shears, Gerry Haver, and other Vietnam veteran
volunteers built The Moving Wall. It went on display for the first
time in Tyler, Texas in October of 1984. Two structures of The
Moving Wall now travel the USA from April through November, spending
about a week at each site.
