The Wall that Heals coming to IWU Sept. 19-23
The Wall That Heals, a 250-foot replica of the original memorial in Washington, D.C., is coming to Marion Sept. 19 and can be seen at the intersection of Ind. 37 and 50th Street in front of the Indiana Wesleyan University Adult Education campus and will be open to the public. Admission is free.

The names on the replica are listed alphabetically by day of casualty. Beginning at the center, the names start on the right-hand side and go toward the left-hand side.

Since the wall will be open 24 hours a day, volunteers are needed to help search the wall for names and overnight volunteer security. Help is needed Tuesday, Sept. 18, and Sunday, Sept. 23 for set up and tear down of the wall. Those interested in helping can call Larry Richardson at 765-662-9931 or lrichardson@marionindiana.us.
