The Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall.
Created in 1990, this three-quarter-scale, 240-foot traveling replica of the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial in WA DC is coming to Bremerton to Miller-Woodlawn Funeral Home & Memorial Park (5505 Kitsap Way, Bremerton).

This faux-granite replica is dedicated to all Americans who served in Vietnam and honors all servicemen and women of the United States military forces.
Each year the replica criss-crosses the country, allowing millions of visitors to see and touch its black, mirror-like surface inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 Americans who died or are missing in Vietnam. Every exhibition is sponsored by a local Dignity Memorial provider, with the help and support of area veterans groups and civic organizations. The exhibit is not a commercial venture. Dignity Memorial network providers have been extremely sensitive to this issue. We provide our replica to communities at no cost. We do not solicit, nor do we record the names of those who visit the exhibit, and an admission fee is never charged.
