The Glen Ellyn American Legion Post 3, in partnership with the Village of Glen Ellyn and College of DuPage, proudly presents the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall.

A 3/5 scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., the traveling wall stands 6 feet tall at the center and covers almost 300 feet from end to end. The exhibit serves as a reminder of the great sacrifices made during the Vietnam War and was created to help heal and rekindle friendships. It also provides access for people across the suburbs who otherwise may not be able to make the trip to Washington.

The traveling exhibit also includes the Wall of Honor, which commemorates fallen service members from Operation Desert Shield to the present, including those lost in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, and artwork depicting the Vietnam Women’s Memorial.

For ADA accommodations, please email access@cod.edu with the event title in the subject line and your accommodation request. Please email two weeks in advance.
