The Moving Wall Vietnam Memorial is coming to New Boston, TX the weekend of September 5 thru 8, 2025. It will be on display at the "Midway", just east of the Pavilion, right on Rt 82 in town. This 252 foot display is an exact replica of the original Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C.
It was created back in 1983 by Vietnam Veteran John Devitt and other veterans who visited the Memorial in D.C. and realized many people wouldn't be able to travel to D.C. to see it. After several attempts of creating that beautiful sheen on the travel panels, it was finished and first displayed in Tyler, Texas in 1984.
Plans are just coming together for this incredible, yet very somber event. The Chamber is Sponsoring this event with the help of the City of New Boston and the Boston Entertainment District.
We are putting together various Sponsor ideas and will have that posted soon.
