The Wall That Heals in Groveland

The City of Groveland, Florida is proud to be the final city to showcase The Wall That Heals during its 2016 tour. 

The Wall That Heals mobile exhibit features a half-scale replica of The Wall in Washington, D.C. The exterior sides of the trailer that carries The Wall That Heals open to become a mobile Education Center. Information cases display photos of service members whose names are found on The Wall, along with items left at The Wall in D.C. Since it was unveiled in 1996, it has visited more than 400 communities throughout the nation, spreading the Memorial's healing legacy to millions.

The event will allow us to pay tribute to the soldiers who fought valiantly for their country in a foreign land. These young soldiers faced horrendous odds each day to survive. Those that made it home returned to a country in turmoil where many saw them as the enemy. The Wall That Heals is truly that. It allows many of the surviving soldiers and families of those killed to finally have closure after so many years. Moreover, the mobile education center provides younger generations a glimpse into the soldier’s life by showcasing displays containing images of the soldiers, their gear, and mementoes left behind at The Wall.

All funds raised will be used for the VVMF exhibit, travel, utilities, portable facilities as well as security during the evening hours (the exhibit is open to all, 24 hours a day during its visit).  Any funds raised in excess of our goal will remain in our community going to local non-profit veteran’s organizations. 

Please make a donation and share this worthy cause with others. No amount is too small and will be greatly appreciated.
