The Wall That Heals visit to Liberty, South Carolina scheduled for November 8 – 11, 2024 has been postponed. This event, hosted by Pickens County Veterans Affairs office, would have brought the preeminent replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to the area for Vietnam veterans, family members and other members of the public. Pickens County Veterans Affairs and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund jointly decided to postpone the visit. While a goal of The Wall That Heals is to bring people together and provide healing and reflection, the community is focused on addressing the challenges of its citizens as they face the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. VVMF and the Pickens County Veterans Affairs office looks forward to rescheduling this important event in 2025.

What is The Wall That Heals?
Honoring the more than 3 million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, “The Wall That Heals”—which is 375 feet in length and bears the names of the 58,281 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam—is transported from community to community via a 53-foot trailer. When parked, the trailer opens up to showcase a variety of exhibits, allowing it to serve as a mobile education center that tells the story of the Vietnam War.
The free exhibit will be open to the public 24 hours a day from May 15, 2025 through May 18, 2025 at Deer Wood Farms, 765 Breazeale Road, Liberty, S.C.
