Traveling Wall

A little over three years ago, one of our VVA members was told about a “Traveling Wall” in Texas that was up for sale. It wasn’t long before we, along with the City of Punta Gorda, decided to build a granite replica of the Wall located in DC.

In April 2014, I kicked off the fundraising campaign, today, 24 months later, we have raised nearly $650,000. And construction is well underway. We are planning to have the official dedication on Saturday, November 5 at 10 a.m. The dedication will kick off Veterans week, and we are planning events of one type or another every day, ending up with the Veterans Parade on Saturday, November 12.

Thanks

Bill Akins
