SUMMARY:The Wall That Heals - Vietnam Veterans Memorial Replica & Mobile Education Center
DESCRIPTION:The Wall That Heals exhibit features a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington\, D.C. The replica is 375 feet in length and stands 7.5 feet high at its tallest point. Visitors experience The Wall rising above them as they walk towards the apex\, a key feature of the design of The Wall in D.C. \nLike the original Memorial\, The Wall That Heals is erected in a chevron-shape and visitors can do name rubbings of individual service member’s names on The Wall. The replica is constructed of Avonite\, a synthetic granite\, and its 140 numbered panels are supported by an aluminum frame. Machine engraving of the more than 58\,000 names along with modern LED lighting provide readability of The Wall day and night. \nAs on The Wall\, the names on The Wall That Heals are listed by day of casualty. Beginning at the center/apex\, the names start on the East Wall (right-hand side) working their way out to the end of that wing\, picking up again at the far end of the West Wall (left-hand side) and working their way back in to the center/apex\, joining the beginning and end of the conflict at the center. \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:3rd Annual Who Gives a Ruck About Veteran Suicide 5K Walk
DESCRIPTION:Greetings – \n  \nIt’s time for the 3rd Annual Who Gives a Ruck About Veteran Suicide 5K Walk.  This year the event will be on Saturday\, May 17\, 2025\, and aims to bring awareness to Veteran suicide and the community mental health services that are available to Veterans.  We are again encouraging participants to carry a 20 lb. backpack (ruck) to symbolize the roughly 20       Veterans who succumb to suicide every day.  Last year we had over 100 participants and raised almost $8000 from generous sponsors. \n  \nThis year\, all proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit local organizations/agencies that serve the Veterans throughout our community in various ways\, so we’re setting a goal of $16\,000!  \n  \nI am reaching out to ask you to support our efforts by sponsoring the event. I’ve included a flyer that details the different levels of sponsorship so please let me know if you are able to help. \n  \nAlso please help us spread the word about the event with your friends and colleagues by sharing our Facebook page – Who Gives a Ruck? about Veteran Suicide.  And if you’d like to participate in the ruck march\, please visit www.runsignup.com to register for the walk. \nI appreciate your consideration\, and thank you for any assistance you can provide.   \n  \nBest regards\, \n  \nJanine Idstein \nWho Gives a Ruck Chairperson \njmidstein2@gmail.com\n \n
