Vietnam memorial wall arrives in area

"Lest We Forget." It is a saying displayed prominently throughout City Park late Tuesday afternoon and it was the focal point as the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall arrived at the park.

People gathered Tuesday at the entrance of City Park, many holding American flags, as the truck and trailer carrying the memorial arrived for its stay in Parkersburg.

The truck arrived followed by around 350 motorcycles of the Patriot Guard and others who escorted the Wall from the Fairplains exit along Interstate 77 all the way into the park.
