Monday, July 7th, 2014 -- 8:16 AM
-2014 marks the 30th anniversary of The Highground Veterans Memorial Park in Neillsville.What began as The Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial Project in 1984 has evolved and expanded to include tributes, education and support for veterans from WWII to the present day.
In August, The Highground will present its mission of Healing and Education in an event that has never happened before in the U.S. From August 13 ? 17, The Highground will host, during all four days, ?The Wall That Heals? Vietnam Memorial Wall; ?The Wall of Remembrance? and The Canadian Vietnam Memorial Wall.
?The Wall That Heals? is a half-scale replica, approximately 250 feet long, of The Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. ?The Wall of Remembrance? has never before been in Wisconsin prior to this upcoming event. It is a profound emotional exhibit that pays tribute to the U.S. casualties on the Global War on Terror.
These two memorial walls along with The Canadian Vietnam Memorial Wall will all be present at The Highground from Aug 13 ? 17th, the first time that all three walls have ever been exhibited together.
