Honor A Veteran

Since the Vietnam War ended, thousands of Vietnam veterans have died each year due to Agent Orange exposure, PTSD/suicide, cancer and other causes related to their service. In an effort to honor these veterans, VVMF has/offers/hosts the In Memory program, which provides a way for family members and friends to honor those who returned home from Vietnam and later passed away.

When a Vietnam veteran is honored through the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s (VVMF) In Memory program, their photo will be included on an Honor Roll display alongside the images of other honorees from South Carolina.

To be included in the In Memory Honor Roll display when “The Wall That Heals” comes to Liberty, S.C. in May 2025, the VVMF must have received your application before April 15, 2025.

Please Note: The In Memory program honors all Vietnam veterans who have passed away, enabling the families and friends of those who came home and later died the opportunity to have them forever memorialized. The In Memory program is inclusive to honor all Vietnam Veterans, regardless of their cause of death.

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.

POSTPONED UNTIL 2025

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.
