The City of Zachary is honored to welcome the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall back to our community for the first time in 30 years.
For the past four years, Mayor David McDavid has worked tirelessly to bring the Wall back to Zachary, and the City is proud to host this moving tribute honoring the men and women who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall is a portable replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Created to bring this powerful tribute to communities across the country, the Wall gives families and visitors an opportunity to honor the brave men and women who served without having to travel to the nation’s capital. The Wall bears the names of more than 58,000 U.S. service members who gave their lives or remain missing in action.
The memorial will be displayed on the beautiful campus of Zachary High School.
