The Traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall that attracted over 80,000 people to Punta Gorda in 2009 may be coming back for good as soon as next year.
During an emotion city council meeting Wednesday, a group of vets urged leaders to support bringing the monument to Laishley Park – council members supported the idea.
"Why did we survive and others didn't? It's a question you just can't answer," said Chuck Weinberg, a Vietnam veteran.
