A traveling Vietnam veterans memorial, "The Wall That Heals," is making a stop in Northeast Georgia this weekend.

The wall is in Dahlonega from Halloween through Sunday, being displayed on the University of North Georgia's campus.

"The Wall that Heals is a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, along with a mobile Education Center, that travels throughout the United States to honor and remember the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces in the Vietnam War," the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund's website says.

The wall is open to the public on Halloween with special ceremonies being scheduled for Friday and Sunday. The wall will close to the public at 2:00 p.m. Sunday before leaving for its next stop in Liberty, South Carolina.

The wall is located on UNG's Promenade Field in front of Memorial Hall with parking available in the lot behind Memorial Hall.

Local Lumpkin County veterans and law enforcement stand in front of the truck that transported The Wall That Heals to Dahlonega Wednesday.
