Leadership Graduate and Huntington Town Councilman Mark Cutherbertson, together with Supervisor Frank Petrone, US Representative Steve Israel and other Town Board Members have announced that the Dignity Memorial Wall - the traveling Vietnam War Memorial - will be in Peter Nelson Park (aka Oakwood Park) from October 1-3. The Wall, a three-quarter-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington D.C., has been touring the nation since 1990. This 240-foot long, eight-foot high, faux-granite replica contains the names of more than 58,000 Americans who died or are missing in Vietnam. To see the memorial, to touch it and experience its magnitude offers unforgettable moments of reflection and healing to thousands of visitors.
The Town is seeking volunteers to assist with tasks including setup, hospitality, security and dismantling. The Town is also seeking sponsors who can help defray some of the costs of bringing the Wall to Huntington. Interested persons should contact Stephen Jimenez (also a Leadership Grad!) at 631-351-3171.
