Welcome to the website of the Annual VVB Reunion at Wickham Park, Melbourne, FLHere you will find the tentative agenda, vendor application, lodging and other pertinent information
The Vietnam Traveling Wall® will be on site from April 19th through April 26th, 2015 - You may visit 24 hours each day.
You would see me if I still lived in Cocoa. Awesome event and well worth your time to attend. Just a little bit of a trek from NV now.
Will it be open carry?
Open Carry is illegal (for now) in Florida, save for the Honor Guards. And I don’t think they will have a problem with my Charville.

(oooh, that abbreviation is a little out of place for this thread)
LOOKS GOOD!
I missed the big one.
Another grunt and I were working together (an unusual event for me) in Evanston, just north of Chicago.
We discussed going, but thought it would be a bunch of pols begging for votes.
Some how, some way it turned into the real deal.
The city was expecting a maximum of 125,000 marchers in the Welcome Home parade for Vietnam veterans. An estimated 200,000 showed, cheered by nearly 500,000 spectators.

The opening ceremony was cancelled due to a train of t-storms coming across the state and flooding on the field (hopefully temporary) But the wall is there and those whose names appear thereon endured much worse. Do make a visit if you are in the area.
