When parked\, the trailer opens with exhibits built into its sides\, allowing it to serve as a mobile Education Center telling the story of the Vietnam War\, The Wall and the divisive era in American history. \nThe three-quarter scale Wall replica is 375 feet in length and stands 7.5 feet high at its tallest point. Visitors will experience The Wall rising above them as they walk towards the apex\, a key feature of the design of The Wall in D.C. Visitors are able to do name rubbings of individual service member’s names on The Wall. \nThe mobile Education Center exhibit includes: digital photo displays of “Hometown Heroes” – service members whose names are on The Wall that list their home of record within the area of a visit; digital photo displays of Vietnam veterans from the local area honored through VVMF’s In Memory program which honors veterans who returned home from Vietnam and later died; video displays that teach about the history and impact of The Wall; educational exhibits told through items representative of those left at The Wall in D.C.; a replica of the In Memory plaque; a map of Vietnam and a chronological overview of the Vietnam War. The exhibits tell the story of the Vietnam War\, The Wall and the era surrounding the conflict\, and are designed to put American experiences in Vietnam in a historical and cultural context. \nThe 2023 national The Wall That Heals tour is generously sponsored by USAA. Through a partnership with the Truckload Carriers Association (TCA)\, the trucking industry\, and Blue Beacon\, the exhibit is able to travel across the country. SCENTSY and THE IDAHO DIVISION OF VETERANS SERVICES are local sponsors. \nSince its debut in 1996\, the exhibit has been on display in more than 700 U.S. communities in addition to an April 1999 tour of the Four Provinces of Ireland and a visit to Canada in 2005.
