Bringing Home The Wall in St. Augustine FL

St. Augustine FL Elks welcomed members of Rolling Thunder and Patriot Guard Riders while they escorted Bringing Home The Wall.

There were about 300 bikes.



In 2008 I took pictures as one of their Walls was being put together. It takes a lot of work to put all the pieces together and with each panel, prayers and memories flooded into their minds.



Bringing Home the Wall is the creation of Dee Twig. This down sized replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. was built out of their care for mankind and for the people who served, died and are missing in the Vietnam War. They operate and move the traveling wall memorial at their own expense and through donations that are left by the people that visit it.

It should be noted that because of the size of this wall, it enables them to move it to smaller facilities than the larger scale wall. This allows visits to places like homes for the elderly, VA Hospitals, churches and other buildings where people that would not otherwise be able to ever see The Wall can.

Much like The Virtual Wall® online, a computer setup so that your loved one or friend can be easily located on the tribute. The database holds all of the names that are on the actual wall and will pinpoint which panel display the name you are looking for can be found on Bringing Home The Wall. We can be contacted by phone at 407-433-0015 for information on displaying the wall in your community or email him below for further information.
