Service Credit Union is one of two five-star sponsors of the Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall at Salem High School October 15th through October 19th.
The wall, 80-percent scale-sized replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall, and its exhibits will be open 24 hours a day along with a number of special events and ceremonies over a patriotic five-day period.
“It is an honor and privilege to sponsor this event and share it with our New Hampshire communities,” says Gordon Simmons, President/CEO of Service Credit Union. “It is a way to honor the fallen and reflect on their sacrifices for our great country. We encourage visitors to pause and remember those great servicemen and women who gave their lives in Vietnam and in all wars.”
A Welcoming Escort of the wall will be held October 15th as motorcycle groups, representing different branches of armed forces, will lead the effort. A soft Opening Ceremony and the Blessing of the Wall will be held on October 16th, followed by the Official Opening Ceremony on October 17th, 1,000 Hours Ride to the Wall by motorcycles and Candlelight Vigil on October18th and October 19th will be the Closing Ceremonies.
The Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall is the largest traveling replica of the wall, an 80 percent replica with all of the names that are on the memorial wall in Washington, D.C. While the traveling wall is the centerpiece of the Cost of Freedom tribute, there are also exhibits honoring the sacrifices of those who served the country from the Revolutionary War through the present day.
