‘I have 44 brothers on that wall,’ said Theodore R. Mason, of Erie, as he wiped tears from his eyes after touching each of the names of the members of the 1st Battalion 3rd Marine division infantry that dies in Vietnam during the 1 year 8 months and 16 days he was in the war. Mason said the wall means a lot to him and other Vietnam war veterans, not for the white names, but for the faces and people they remember that those names represent.


Moving Wall honors lost Vietnam soldiers

By Ryan Smith

The Moving Wall, a half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., is being exhibited at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania through Monday. Situated in a tree-lined grassy area along Mallory Lake near the center of campus, the exhibit is free and open to the public 24 hours a day. Upwards of 20,000 visitors are expected, and at least 1,600 students from 14 area schools have already registered for tours, according to university officials.
