That’s when The Wall That Heals rolled into Kent County Veterans Memorial Park on South Little Creek Road escorted by police and nearly 100 motorcycles.
The Wall That Heals is a half-size mobile replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
The replica tours the nation. It stopped in Dover on one other occasion, in October 1998 at Legislative Mall.
“I saw the actual wall in D.C. and it was humbling,” said Ron Sarg, chairman of the Delaware Commission of Veterans Affairs and a Vietnam veteran. “And with the traveling wall here,
it’s an excellent opportunity for anyone who can’t make it to D.C. to have that experience.”
It was an 18-months-long project to secure the Wall’s return to Dover. It was accomplished with the cooperation of representatives of the Commission of Veterans Affairs and Kent County Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 850.
