The traveling memorial honoring those who gave their lives for our country while serving in Vietnam will be in Central Illinois for five days this month. Arriving with a formal motorcycle es**rt, the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall will be on display Sept. 23-27 in East Peoria’s Levee Park in the 400 block of West Washington Street. This will be the first time East Peoria has hosted the traveling memorial wall, and admission is free.

Volunteer opportunities are available for the formal motorcycle es**rt and to set up and take down the display.

The wall will arrive in East Peoria between 9:30 and 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23. It will take volunteers about four hours to assemble the wall, which has 142 sections consisting of two panels each.

Those who want to help assemble or take down the wall should be age 18 or older and able to do the physical activity of setting up or taking down the display. Set-up will occur Sept. 23 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. and the wall will be disassembled Sept. 27 from 2 until 5 p.m. To volunteer, email event co-chairman Dan Decker at [email protected].

Quiet Pride Motorcycle Club, comprised of current and former military personnel, is organizing the formal es**rt of the wall into East Peoria, assisted by the East Peoria Police, Tazewell County Sheriff’s Department and Illinois State Police. Those wanting to be involved with the es**rt should email their name and phone number to Ron Hawotte at [email protected].
