The Mobile Vietnam Memorial Wall (AV Wall) is on display through Sunday, November 12 at the Westpark Elementary School, located at 3600 Imperial Ave., Rosamond, CA.

The monument is open to the public 24 hours a day and admission is free. The theme of the display is "About The Wall - Facts & Faces," and it provides visitors a chance to learn facts about the stunning memorial and see the faces of those whose names are engraved on The Wall.

The AV Wall is maintained and traveled by an all-volunteer organization. It is one of only five traveling walls in the United States and the only one based on the west coast.

The AV Wall is engraved with the names of more than 58,300 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing. The monument is a half-scale size tribute monument of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C.

There will be a candlelight ceremony at the AV Wall Friday, November 10, 8 p.m., followed by Taps.

Please share this information so others have an opportunity to visit the Mobile Vietnam Memorial Wall.
