This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice and courage will never be forgotten.

As we reflect on the true meaning of this day, we also look ahead to a powerful opportunity for remembrance and education — The Wall That Heals, a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and mobile Education Center, coming to Beasley Field on November 6-9, 2025. The Wall will be open 24 hours a day and free to the public.

The Wall That Heals honors the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed forces in the Vietnam War, and it bears the names of the 58,281 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.

This exhibit offers a chance to pay tribute to those who served and to deepen our understanding of their stories and sacrifices.
