RECOMMENDED ACTION: For presentation only.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Moving Wall is coming to
Lodi. The moving wall will be on display 24 hours a day
beginning Saturday, July 27, 2002 through Friday, August 2,
2002. This is a community service project and there is no

The Moving Wall was conceived by three Vietnam Veterans from California to "keep alive" and
share the power and good that they had experienced while attending the dedication of the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. The Moving Memorial is one-third the
size of the exact replica of the Wall in Washington D.C.
