A three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., titled ‘The Wall That Heals,’ will be on exhibit in Afton from July 9 to 12. The memorial will make its way through Jackson toward Alpine on July 7 and will be escorted through Star Valley by a patriotic motorcade and vintage warbird flyover.

The Exhibit

The free memorial exhibit will be located at the Star Valley Middle School and will include the replica wall and an educational center, where attendees can learn more about the Vietnam war through photographs, artifacts, and personal stories of veterans. Open 24 hours a day, the exhibit is intended to honor more than 58,000 service members, all of whose names are inscribed on the memorial.

Community members and visitors are encouraged to line the route, wave flags, and welcome the exhibit as it travels from Alpine through Star Valley Ranch, past the Afton Arch, and concludes at Star Valley Middle School in Afton. Those interested in learning more can do so here. For those interested in volunteering opportunities at the exhibit, registration is available here.
