We wanted to share an upcoming opportunity with our community and spreading the word. The Wall That Heals will be in West Yarmouth from September 17th through 20th, 2026, hosted by the Cape & Islands Veterans Outreach Center. The visit will include opportunities to experience the traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial replica and Education Center, along with several special events and ceremonies throughout the week.

Organizers are also looking for veterans and others who may be interested in participating, including:
• Educational Center tours for individuals or groups
• The Light the Night Ceremony
• Veterans or community members interested in saluting a name on a panel as the Wall is assembled
