NMU Hosts Traveling Vietnam Wall

Thursday 23, 2016

NMU hosted a display of the American Veterans Traveling Tribute Vietnam Wall outside the Superior Dome June 22-26. The wall is an 80-percent replica of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, D.C. and the largest reproduction in the United States, paying tribute to the 58,286 lives lost in Vietnam. Mike Rutledge, NMU veterans resource representative, served on the planning committee. He also is a member of the Marquette County Veterans Alliance, which along with veteran organizations in Marquette, Baraga, Alger and Dickinson counties, brought the wall to campus and coordinated daily ceremonies to honor the fallen.
