The Wall That Heals, a three-quarter-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., will be in Wylie for several days in October and November. It is 375 feet in length and stands 7.5 feet high at its tallest point.

The Wall That Heals will arrive in Wylie Founders Park, 851 Hensley Lane, on Tuesday, Oct. 28, and be open Thursday, Oct. 30 through 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2.

Families of Vietnam veterans who died as a result of their service but whose names are not inscribed on the wall, may submit an application to have the veteran listed on the In Memory Honor Roll.

Their names and photos will be featured in Wylie on the digital display that travels with The Wall That Heals and will be part of the display at future stops.
