Preparations still being made for Vietnam Memorial Wall

Ground being prepared for the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall.

WILLIAMS – They are not in the Army now, but Veterans of Williams are preparing the ground for the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall. Although the wall may be delayed in coming because of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus, they hope it is not delayed long.

Williams was already disappointed by the understandable cancellation of Run For the Wall which was to occur in May. They were also disappointed by the cancellation of the Wreath Laying ceremony for Vietnam Veterans on Memorial Day for the safety of possible participants.

John Holst, Randy Baer and Russell Achee prepare the grounds for the moving Vietnam Wall.

Randy Baer, in charge of the project, said that the area will be much nicer even after the Wall is gone.

John Holst added that they intend to add low-water, local shrubbery and trees.

We hope that, while the Vietnam Memorial Wall is here, people will show enough respect to not let their dogs defecate in the area.

Randy said they could use help with labor as the project progresses. Help with digging and landscaping would be appreciated. He can be reached at 928-225-9064. Small monetary donations would be helpful to defray the cost of the project.

It is important to note that they will be trying to stay compliant with current restrictions. So you may have to actually call for an appointment to help.
