Fort Mill History Museum – The Wall that Heals (The Traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial & Museum)
Veterans Park, White Street, Fort Mill, SC

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial stands as a symbol of America’s honor and as recognition of the men and women who served and sacrificed their lives in the Vietnam War. Inscribed on the black granite walls are the names of more than 58,000 men and women who gave their lives or remain missing. The Memorial is dedicated to honor the “courage, sacrifice and devotion to duty and country” of all who answered the call to serve during the longest war in US history.
The Museum helps many visitors, particularly students, to put American experiences in Vietnam in a historical and cultural context. The Vietnam Memorial Fund is creating a truly personal experience by matching a photo and a face to every one of the more than 58,000 names on The Wall. Visitors may want to bring a photo of friends, family members, and combat buddies who served to The Wall That Heals. In this way, those who are left behind may ensure their loved one is never forgotten.
