Dignity Memorial funeral, cremation and cemetery providers created a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. , as a service to those who might never visit the nation’s capital to experience “The Wall” firsthand. Dedicated to Vietnam veterans and honoring all U.S. service-men and women, the three quarter scale, faux granite replica is a 240 feet long, eight feet high and contains the names of more than 58,000 Americans who died or are missing in Vietnam. It brings healing to veterans, awareness to younger generations and contemplation to all who gaze into its reflective surface.
