Since the arrival of the Vietnam Traveling Memorial Wall on Thursday, at least 6,000 veterans have stopped by to pay tribute, according to Don Belle, president of the Vietnam Veterans of America group, who worked to bring the wall here.

“Most people thought it couldn’t be done. But not only did we do it, but this has brought healing to those who have been able to stop by and see the wall,” said Belle Saturday afternoon.

Gary Wagoner, a member of the VVA group, said seeing the wall and all of the veterans who have been touched by it has brought healing.

“This has been a healing process,” Wagoner said.
