In July of 2019 American Legion 679 and True Patriots Care had the honor of hosting ‘The Wall That Heals’, a ¾ scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C.
We again have the honor of hosting this tribute this year, and will be the only location in Illinois hosting the VVMF ‘Wall That Heals’. There are other ‘traveling walls’ that travel throughout various states, but this is the one from Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund (VVMF) organization, which is ‘The Wall’ in Washington, D.C.
The event will be Memorial Day Week, starting May 22nd through May 27th, 2024. It will again be held at Randall Oaks Park (same location as 2019) and this email is to inform you that the
‘Sign Up Genius’ program is now available. This is the program where you can sign up for various volunteer positions. There are 512 positions to select from, and you can sign up for multiple positions / slots. There also is a ‘FAQ’ and contact page page if you have questions about positions.
