The Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall is a three-quarter-scale traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The exhibit will be displayed from Friday, November 9 through Monday, November 12 at Skyline Memorial Gardens, located at 4101 Northwest Skyline Boulevard in Portland.

Free and open to the public 24 hours a day, the replica is eight feet high and 240 feet long. Its black, reflective surface is inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 servicemen and women who died or are missing in Vietnam. Paper and pencils will be provided so visitors can make rubbings of names etched on the wall.

Created by the Dignity Memorial network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers in 1990, the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall is dedicated to all Americans who served in Vietnam and honors all veterans of the U.S. military.

The Salvation Army is a proud partner of this event and invites you to visit the Wall when it is in Portland in November 2012.
