Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall Visits Superior

A traveling version of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be in Superior Thursday through Sunday. It’s a half sized replica of the long black wall in Washington with the names of all 58-thousand service members who died in the Vietnam War in the 1960s and ’70s. A mobile education center is part of the exhibit, which will be at Barker’s Island Festival Park in Superior. The main wall went up 35 years ago, and Halvor Lines is hosting what will be the miniwall’s only appearance in Wisconsin this year. It’s nicknamed “The Wall that Heals,” and it’s been traveling around the U-S since 1996 with visits to more than 400 communities.
