Looking for upcoming events? The Wall That Heals will be on display in Caldwell Oct. 17-22
The Wall That Heals
A replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall will be visiting Caldwell Oct. 17 to 22. The Wall That Heals will be escorted into town by area bikers. The first 300 bikers in the escort will receive commemorative patches. The Wall will arrive in Caldwell after departing the Guernsey County Fairgrounds. It will travel Ohio 285 to Ohio 566 in Senecaville to Ohio 147 before traveling past both Caldwell and Shenandoah schools. Once assembled, the trailer it was housed in will be converted into a mobile education center and be located behind the administration building in Caldwell.
"It will have a hometown heroes section with the local service members who are memorialized on the actual wall. It will also house items left at the actual wall in Washington D. C., and the Gold Star Bike, a Softail Custom Harley, donated by the American Gold Star Mothers in 2012," according to a press release. Those wishing to visit the Wall can do so from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 19-22. Bikers who would like to participate in the caravan can call 740-581-2121 or email softtail9761@gmail.com.
