Commemorative Walk opened Seymour 9-3-13

Vietnam Veterans’ Commemorative Walk

The Commemorative Wall was opened in Seymour on 9 March 2013

The wall is made up of panels of DigiGlass with the name of every Serviceman and Servicewoman who served in their various capacities. The names are separated only by the Service in which they served in alphabetical order. The plinths on which the panels stand have holes for Poppies; the effect is to have a field of Poppies under the names. Behind the names is the picture story of the Vietnam conflict.

There are areas of contemplation for people to use along the length of this walk.
