The Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall will be in McDonough this weekend, giving residents the chance to reflect on the controversial war that claimed more than 58,000 American lives.

The Wall will be on display free of charge at the baseball fields in Heritage Park through Sunday.

Opening ceremonies will be held today at 6 p.m., featuring former Army POW Tom Davis.

The itinerary for the rest of the weekend includes Saturday's arrival of motorcycle tribute riders and a helicopter fly-over.

Sunday's closing ceremonies will include former Army POW Ben Purcell and state Rep. John Lunsford (R-McDonough).

Heritage Park is located at 101 Lake Dow Road just off Highway 81 in McDonough.
