Kudos to the staff at Westpark Elementary School and the Southern Kern Unified School District for hosting the display of the AV Wall.
The AV Wall is a half-scale replica of the Vietnam War Memorial Wall in Washington D.C., and it is a mobile Vietnam war memorial that can be easily viewed by residents within Southern California. Check out their website at www.avwall.org. It is only displayed a small number of times each year, and display locations can be found on their website. There is also an option to donate to this worthy cause through their website.
In observance of Veterans Day this year, I chose to visit the AV Wall at Westpark Elementary School as my way of showing kindness, admiration and respect for our Veterans. In my opinion, nothing is more honorable than a person willing to serve their country for the benefit of all those within it. While visiting, I met some kind individuals who were volunteers for this display, all of whom have served their country. I enjoyed just standing there while listening to their experiences, some fascinating and some tragic, with the magnificence of this awesome memorial as a background.
If you have the ability to check out this tribute, please do so. If you miss this temporary display at Westpark Elementary, and you live in Southern California, then be sure to check out the AV Wall website for future viewing opportunities. Special note: The AV Wall display is currently planned to retire at the end of 2025, so if you'd like to see it, do it soon.
Thanks again to the staff at Westpark
