In just nine days, area residents will have a unique opportunity to witness history and pay homage to friends, family and fellow countrymen who lost their lives in the Vietnam War.

Thanks to the dedication and efforts of a group of individuals led by Sachse Historical Society, The Moving Wall, a half-scale aluminum panel replica of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C. will be on display in Sachse May 26 through May 29.
