Post Meeting - American Legion Post 316 Woodstock Cherokee County Georgia

Momentum is growing for the campaign to build an Education Center at the Vietnam Memorial Wall. In September 2009, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund launched a National Call for Photos, to gather pictures of the more than 58,000 men and women whose names are on The Wall. There is also a new Web site dedicated to the Education Center, where you will find everything you need to start a local Call for Photos campaign. Click here to visit www.buildthecenter.org. For many, the Vietnam War is text book history. Some 40 percent of the four million people who visit The Wall today are too young to remember that war. To them, the thousands of names cut in the smooth black granite are faceless; they have no context, no connection. By telling the stories behind every name, the Education Center will help visitors understand the courage, sacrifice and devotion of those who fell, those who returned, and those who waited. While learning about the Vietnam War, visitors will also discover how the Memorial shaped the ways Americans mourn, and the vital part The Wall played in helping to heal the bitter divisions that tore at the nation’s heart and soul.
