Vietnam War veterans from South Dakota who returned home from service but later died as a result of their time in the war are eligible to be honored at a traveling exhibit coming to Brookings in June.
The Wall That Heals, a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, will be at the Fishback Soccer Complex from June 11-14.
Family and friends are encouraged to submit the names of eligible veterans to be honored through In Memory, which is part of the mobile Education Center exhibit. The deadline to submit is May 11.
There is no cost to have a veteran honored and the application process is simple. To honor a loved one, complete a short application and submit the veteran’s DD214 showing their proof of service in Vietnam, a copy of their death certificate and two photographs. Additional information on the In Memory program and the application form can be found at www.vvmf.org/inmemory.
