TRAVELING VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL
VISIT TO CENTRAL OHIO A SUCCESS!
Members of Central Ohio AGC constructed the frame that supported the traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial, as well as assembled and disassembled the Memorial itself. It was on display August 27-29 at Kingwood Memorial Park outside of Powell. The impressive structure was a 240-ft, 3/4-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. Approximately 75,000 people visited the traveling memorial while it was in town.
