[PPCC] The Moving Wall, A Vietnam Memorial

[lwredvair at comcast.net]

Here is an activity going on this weekend that a co-worker of mine is hosting. It sounds like it might interest some of you, drive your Corvair out to Keenesburg and check it out!

Here's a quote from an article in the Greeley Tribune about the memorial "The Moving Wall coming to Keenesburg, said Mark Kauffman, a Keenesburg resident and one of 98 members of the American Legion, was funded and built by three Vietnam veterans -- John Devitt, Norris Shears and Gerry Haver -- and is on display throughout the United States each year from April-November."

Have a great weekend!
