11900 S. Kedzie Ave, Chicago IL
A 240-foot replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be visiting Chicago. The exhibit is free of charge and will be open 24 hours a day from the time of the opening ceremonies Friday, June 13th at 12 noon until closing ceremonies at 5pm Sunday evening. During the Saturday evening service there will be a special time of recognition for those members of the Armed Forces who either lost their lives or are still listed as missing in Vietnam from Illinois and Northwest Indiana. Lincoln, Beverly, & Oak Hill Cemeteries are hoping to obtain pictures of those whose names appear on the Wall so that there can be a special tribute planned in their honor during the service. All family members are encouraged to call us for further details.
