TRAVELING VIET NAM WAR MEMORIAL IS COMING AGAIN

SAN DIEGO (February 17,2010) – For all of you that remember the huge motorcycle escort a few years back, from Viejas to Balboa Park, of Dignity Memorial's Viet Nam Wall . . . . . well . . . . get ready again!

The Dignity Memorial® Vietnam Wall is a traveling, three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The faux-granite replica stands 240 feet long and eight feet high and is inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 Americans who died or are missing in Vietnam. The traveling monument has been displayed in more than 200 cities across the country, allowing millions of visitors to experience the healing power of the memorial.

Free and open to the public 24 hours a day, the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall is dedicated to the veterans of the Vietnam War and honors all U.S. servicemen and women. The Dignity Memorial network of funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers created the replica as a service to those who might never visit the nation’s capital to experience the original memorial firsthand.

 

Each year, the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall tours the country, making 10-14 weekend stops in communities served by Dignity Memorial providers. Since its inception in 1990, the traveling monument has been displayed in more than 200 cities across the country, allowing millions of visitors to experience the healing power of the memorial.

SDHarleyRiders will again be coordinating along with the Veterans Museum and Memorial Center in Balboa Park, to gather an "unofficial" mc escort, thereby circumventing the chaos orchestrated by San Diego's Finest - the last time this was done. It will not be from Viejas, but from a closer location to be announced shortly.

More information will be forthcoming, but we will need all the help again, from local MC's and riders.
