In just nine days, area residents will have a unique opportunity to witness history and pay homage to friends, family and fellow countrymen who lost their lives in the Vietnam War.
Thanks to the dedication and efforts of a group of individuals led by Sachse Historical Society, The Moving Wall, a half-scale aluminum panel replica of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C. will be on display in Sachse May 26 through May 29.
The Wall will be escorted via motorcycle brigade to the Sachse City Hall complex at approximately 9 a.m. May 25. Volunteers and Wall representatives will then assemble the wall according to specifications. The entire exhibit will be displayed outside of the Sachse Public Library on the Bryan Street side, which has the room and topographical layout needed for such a large display.
