Vietnam Moving Wall Notice 2017

Neighborhood Notice to Residents

The Town of Wareham is honored to host the Vietnam Moving Wall August 17- 21, 2017.  The wall will be erected on Andersson Track, 4 Viking Drive, across from the Middle School. 

Setup commences on August 15.   The Moving Wall will be open to visitors 24 hr. per day on August 17.

We want to alert the community to some inconveniences that may occur during this period.

Lighting- the Moving Wall will be lighted throughout the night.  We will focus the lights to cover Andersson track and the parking lot adjacent to the field.

Traffic- We will experience a higher volume of traffic in the area along RT 6 and perhaps the town, especially when the Wall arrives on Wednesday afternoon, and prior to the daily ceremonies.  Ceremonies will be held at 7pm on Thurs, Fri, and Sat., Noon and 2pm on Sunday and 10am on Monday.

Noise-Rifle volleys will follow each of the daily ceremonies by approximately 1 hour.

A flyover of jet aircraft is anticipated on Thursday, August 17 around 7pm.

Several helicopters will fly over the site, land and take off again during the closing ceremony on Monday, August 21^st approximately 10am.

This is a solemn, dignified occasion at which our fallen Vietnam Veterans can be honored, and our intention is not to inconvenience our residential neighbors unnecessarily.
