- The "Moving Wall", a half-size replica of the Vietnam War Memorial
- Wall, will be across the street from TRW from Nov 23 through 27, 1992.
- The exhibit is lit at night and attended by volunteers 24 hours a day.
- The opening ceremony is Nov 23, 11:45 am, closing Nov 27, 4 pm.
- Viewing will be avialable until Saturday at 8 am.
-
- The first time I stood in front of this replica was a very emotional
- experience. I didn't think I was "plugged in" to the Vietnam War. But
- at some level, I was.
-
- If you have never visited this, watch for it in your area. I understand
- that there is an East coast and a West coast replica, each traveling
- around.
-
- The wall is located at the So Cal Edison park, Marine avenue between
- Inglewood Ave and Aviation Blvd. Exit 405 freeway at Inglewood.
- Proceed North to Marine. Turn left, proceed West and the wall is on
- your right shortly after you cross the RR tracks. It's also right
- across from the 11 story white building with TRW sign on the top.
-
- What does this have to do with recovery? IMNSHO, it's a combination of
- finishing "unfinished business" (Gestalt therapy term) and not harboring
- resentments.
