Welcome to The Traveling Wall
The Wall is a 3/5 scale of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC, it stands six feet tall at the center and covers almost 300 feet from end to end.
This Traveling Memorial stands as a reminder of the great sacrifices made during the Vietnam War. It was made for the purpose of helping heal and rekindle friendships and to allow people the opportunity to visit loved ones in their home town who otherwise may not be able to make the trip to Washington.

About the Vietnam and
All Veterans of Brevard (V V B)

The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall® is part of the Vietnam and All Veterans of Brevard (V V B) located in Brevard County Florida.
The V V B is a 501(c)(3) organization that was formed and incorporated in December of 1985. The VVB is a grass roots, community based organization.
They strive to be an active member of the community by having a color guard and a rifle team to participate in local events. They also support a transitional housing facility which helps veterans in getting back up on their own.
They plan on taking this same dedication and putting it into the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall®; not only in Brevard County, but other Florida counties and all of the United States as well.

The goal of The Sayler Park Historical Society in bringing The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall to Sayler Park is to actively preserve the legacy of service in America; to honor the service of all; to preserve the memory of those who died during the war and since returning home; and to educate all generations about the lasting impact of the Vietnam War. Bringing the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall to local communities allows the souls enshrined on the Memorial to exist once more among family and friends in the peace and comfort of familiar surroundings.

The effort to bring the Wall to Sayler Park is 100 percent donation driven and 100 percent volunteer based. No person is paid for this project. The Sayler Park Historical Society is seeking donations to help fund this effort to honor the memory of those that served during the Vietnam era. If interested in making a donation please make contributions to Sayler Park Historical Society, memo: VTMW and deposit directly at Warsaw Federal 6570 Gracely Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45233 or send your donation to Payable: Sayler Park Historical Society

Being a part of the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall has completely changed me. Hearing the many stories and helping people locate a name that truly was a loss that touched many lives is hard to put into words. War is always hard to justify as serving a higher purpose. The United States was formed under Christian values and is a humanitarian country. We are almost always hated. Just as God’s people. I believe we are Chosen to be His hands and feet to bring truth, grace and mercy through the Holy Spirit. At Home and abroad. God is love. God Bless America.
