Hi.
I spotted your website when I was doing some research. I am involved with a volunteer committee manufacturing the Vietnam Veterans Commemorative Walk here in Seymour. I just thought I’d let you know, in case you haven’t heard of what we are doing. Stage One was completed a couple of years ago – a replica of Luscombe Bowl at Nui Dat. It contains storyboards of the war and some of the major battles. We also placed a beautiful cairn in front of the Bowl in honour of the three sections of the Australian military who served in the conflict. The ground around the cairn and Bowl are covered in pavers with the names of those who served or their families and friends. It is all detailed on our website listed below and I’ve also attached a photograph for you to see.
Stage Two is opening on the 9th of March – brochure above. It is an 80m long x 7′ high, double-sided digiglass wall which depicts both a photographic history of the war whilst at the same lists the names of all those Aussies who served in the conflict. I’ve attached a sample pic of The Wall which appeared in one of our local papers. There are still gardens going in which will represent the rubber trees and rice paddies, paths, artefacts and all sorts of other things, hopefully all in place for the opening. It’s only two and a half months away.
Please would you have a look at what we are doing and pass the word? Our project is huge and almost completed but still, very few people know about what we are doing. We’d love to see all of you come along.
Kind regards,
Carolynne Burgess
