Moving Wall replica honors Vietnam fallen at Griffin Field
The Moving Wall at Onondaga Lake Park offers a moving, public tribute to more than 35,000 Americans killed or missing in the Vietnam War. Names etched in white on black invite reflection as volunteers from United Auto Workers Locals 624 and 2149 and New Process Gear helped raise the funds. The wall, on display behind Griffin Field through Friday’s closing ceremony, encourages people to remember and honor those who served.
