Strength through joy
The “Wall That Heals,” a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., was met by a crowd of onlookers as it made its way into Nahant, Massachusetts on Tuesday with an escort from the “Rolling Thunder” motorcycle group, local and state police, and boats from the U.S. Coast Guard and Boston Fire Department.

The wall will be assembled on Wednesday and will stand 7.5-feet tall and stretch out 375 feet in length.

Once assembled at the Lowlands park, the wall will be open to the public. A formal opening of the display will be held on Saturday, July `17, at 6 p.m.

This will only be displayed in one other Massachusetts community this year.

I greeted the parade from my boat just a few feet ( high tide ) from the roadway.
I was the only boat there.
The fireboats, USCG crafts, and other escorts had to stay in the marked channel, several yards out.
