BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
An enduring symbol of the sacrifices made by service members during the Vietnam War is coming to Council Bluffs.
I’m southwest Iowa neighborhood reporter Katrina Markel.
Over Memorial Day weekend, a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be here at Lewis Central High School.
Pottawattamie County is looking for volunteers to help with the memorial, which is a three-quarters replica of the wall in Washington DC. It also includes an honor roll of other service members who later died as a result of their service in that war.
The display — called The Wall That Heals — is open 24 hours a day. Volunteers of all abilities are needed for a variety of jobs, including setting up the display and staffing the mobile information center.
Interested neighbors can learn more in my web story on Pottawattamie County website.
