Mobile Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall coming to El Centro in 2020

El Centro, Calif. (KYMA, KWST, KECY) - The Imperial Valley Breakfast Rotary presented veterans with a check to bring the Mobile Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to the valley.

The $6,350 dollar check was given to the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 9305 of the Imperial Valley.

"The money will help bring the moving Vietnam Wall to Bucklin Park in 2020," the Rotary says in a Facebook post.

The Mobile Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall will be on display March 26-30 2020, at Bucklin Park in El Centro.

The wall is a half-scale size tribute monument of the Vietnam war memorial in Washington, D.C.
