The City of Johns Creek opened The Wall That Heals on Friday, May 22, 2020 just in time for Memorial Day.
Opening to the public for the first time, The Wall That Heals is a 250-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial honoring the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed forces in Vietnam. It bears the names of the more than 58,000 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.
While the memorial is opening to the public, the city is planning a future celebratory memorial event at a time when health, safety, and crowd restrictions permit larger gathering opportunities. Please watch for future announcements from the city and The Johns Creek Veterans Association on a forthcoming event celebration.
The Wall That Heals was previously a traveling memorial and made a week-long visit in Johns Creek in 2017. In 2018, the City of Johns Creek announced the permanent home for the replica will be inside the Veterans Memorial Walk inside Newtown Park.
