Traveling Vietnam Wall sends powerful message.

HART — The Traveling Vietnam Wall visited the Oceana County Fairgrounds July 7-11, and the exhibit sent a powerful message that we must honor and cherish the sacrifices our military veterans have made to protect our freedom.

A closing ceremony took place Sunday afternoon, July 11, with a 21-gun salute and the playing of “Taps.”
