ORANGE : Memorial Replica Will Be Exhibited
The Moving Wall, a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, will make its first Orange County appearance Oct. 22-27 at Chapman College.
The wall is 253 feet long----slightly more than half the length of the memorial in Washington--and carries the names of 58,156 men and women who died or are listed as missing in action in Vietnam. It will be assembled on the Chapman athletic field, where it will be open 24 hours a day. Volunteers will be available to help visitors find names or to answer questions.
The wall exhibit is sponsored by Chapman’s Freshman Seminar Program and Cultural Arts Committee. The Freshman Seminar, which focuses on one topic each year, is now examining issues of war and peace.
Visitor parking lots will be established to accommodate guests. For advance parking information, or to arrange for bus or van parking, call the Freshman Seminar office at (714) 532-6013.
