Vietnam Wall replica will be at CdA Casino

The “Traveling Wall” Vietnam Memorial will be on display at the Coeur d’Alene Casino Resort Hotel in Worley, Idaho, from Monday through Friday.

The wall, a 4/5 -scale replica of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., bears the names of more than 58,000 men and women killed during the Vietnam War. It stands 8 feet high at its apex and spans 378 feet.

It will be displayed outdoors along the front of the casino property facing Highway 95.

Public viewing will be available 24 hours a day.

Volunteers from various veterans groups, along with resort staff and security, will be available to help visitors who seek the names of family, friends and loved ones listed among the honored dead.

Opening ceremonies will be Monday at 5 p.m. with remarks by Coeur d’Alene Tribal Chairman Ernie Stensgar, a former U.S. Marine, Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient.
