Student Veterans and Alumni! Genesee County Department of Veterans Services is looking for volunteers to assist with the Moving Wall. If interested, please reach out to them directly!

🇺🇸 The Vietnam Moving Wall is Coming to Genesee County 🇺🇸

Genesee County Department of Veterans Services is proud to partner with Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 175 to bring the Vietnam Moving Wall to Bluebell Beach this summer. This powerful traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial carries the names of more than 58,000 service members who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam War.

This partnership reflects our shared commitment to ensuring that our Vietnam Veterans and the families of the fallen are never forgotten. The Moving Wall offers our community a chance to reflect, remember, and pay tribute in a meaningful and personal way, right here at home.

We invite residents, veterans, families, and community members to visit Bluebell Beach this summer to experience this moving tribute and stand together in honor of those who served.

We are currently seeking volunteers to help with setting up and dismantling the Wall, as well as volunteers to assist during visiting hours. This is a meaningful opportunity to serve those who served and to support our local Vietnam veterans and Gold Star families.

If you are interested in volunteering or would like to become a sponsor, please contact Bill Smith at 810-348-3188.
