The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall has arrived in Aurora and is on display in Hartman Park, located at 305 Townline Rd. The wall opened for public viewing June 22 and will remain open through Sunday, June 25.
Aurora Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2629 has been working on the project for more than a year, raising funds to bring the wall to Aurora through donations by organizations and private citizens. A committee consisting of Chair Tony Dockus, David Kuhary, Rand Kaiser, Dennis Kray, Kenneth Reik, Rick Carpenter and Jeff Cox spearheaded the fundraising effort that enabled the VFW to rent the wall for $10,000.
