PARSIPPANY — Members of the Rainbow Lakes Volunteer Fire Company, Parsippany District Two, and numerous Rainbow Lakes residents turned out to greet the Vietnam War Veterans Moving Memorial Wall as it passed along Route 80. The fire company displayed a large American flag from Ladder Truck 621 on the Fox Hill overpass.
The Moving Wall is a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. It was created by John Devitt after he attended the 1982 annual commemoration ceremonies held in Washington for Vietnam veterans. Devitt felt compelled to share his experience with those who did not have the opportunity to visit the memorial in Washington.
The Moving Wall will be open to the public in Rockaway Township later this week.
