The Wall that Heals is coming to Middletown.
The wall is a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund unveiled it in 1996.
It's designed to travel across the country. This way, veterans who have not been able to cope with facing the wall can do so in the comfort of their own communities.
The wall will be at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church from Thursday to Sunday.
