The Wall That Heals
exhibition features a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in
Washington, D.C.
It is approximately
250 feet in length, and like the original Memorial is erected in a
chevron-shape.
The replica is
constructed of powder-coated aluminum, supported by an aluminum frame, and is
made up of 24 individual panels.
As on The Wall, the
names on The Wall That Heals are listed by day of casualty. Beginning at the center/apex, the names start
on the East Wall (right-hand side) working their way out to the end of that wing,
picking up again at the far end of the West Wall (left-hand side) and working
their way back in to the center/apex, joining the beginning and end of the
conflict at the center.
