Photos from the Saugerties Vietnam Memorial opening ceremonies

Photos from the Saugerties Vietnam Memorial opening ceremonies

The traveling replica of the Vietnam Memorial Wall will be on view from today, July 19 through Sunday, July 22 at Cantine Field in Saugerties.

Sponsored by the Ulster County Veterans Services Agency and Saugerties veterans, the movable wall is about 5/8ths the scale of the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. Like the memorial wall in Washington, erected in 1984, the replica contains the names of the more than 58,000 American men and women killed during the Vietnam War, which officially ended in April 1975.

Earlier today, an opening ceremony was held. Photos by Phyllis McCabe.
