2008/08/26-- Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall

Submitted by uberpest on Wed, 2008-08-27 10:34.

One of the projects I'm currently involved with--and why this site hasn't had much by way of updates this season--is hosting the Vietnam Memorial Moving Wall as it visits Whitewater Memorial State Park in September.

 This is a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington D.C.

Whitewater Memorial State Park is located approximately 2 miles south of the town of Liberty, IN on State Road 101. It was established as a living memorial to those from the surrounding counties (Fayette, Franklin, Union, and Wayne) who served during WWII.

If things go as currently planned, I will be speaking briefly running the sound equipment during the ceremony on Saturday, September 6, 2008.

 UPDATE 2008-09-04 Here are the pictures from the event posted as time allows me to update them.
