The Vietnam Moving Wall project was in Natick, Massachusetts from June 9 - 12, 2011, at the Natick High School soccer field on West Street, next to the football field on the same side of the street. The wall was open to the public 24 hours a day.
If you have pictures you'd like to share on the pictures pages, please visit our contact page for the email link. Thanks.
The Moving Wall is a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC. Please see the about page for more information.
The Natick Veterans Council brought the Moving Wall to our community to honor and respect those that made the ultimate sacrifice through remembrance and education and to give our community an opportunity that they would never otherwise have.
Of the more than 58,000 Americans who gave their lives in Vietnam, there are eleven fallen heroes from Natick. Their names, rank, branch, location on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the date they gave their lives is provided here:
