Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial

More than a replica

 

It was a dreary 2018 autumn morning when the final touches of Missouri’s Vietnam Wall replica were completed. Speak with anyone who was there, and the last thing they’ll mention is the weather.

 

For us, this day marked the finalization of our first goal: Bring America’s Wall to the heartland.

 

This awe-inspiring full-scale Wall offers veterans, civilians and those currently serving a place to reflect on the sacrifices of all service men and women in the quiet, peaceful setting that Perryville offers – at no cost.

 

Our Memorial is located 1.5 hours from St. Louis, Mo., and approximately 3 miles off a major interstate, making it easily accessible for visitors, especially those with limited capacity for travel.

 

Missouri’s National Veterans Memorial is destined to grow. While we do not charge admission, we ask for a small donation of $10 per person to continue our important work.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial replica is complete.

 

But we’re far from finished.

 

This privately funded project requires the support of individuals, corporations and organizations throughout the country to become fully realized.
