Administrative History
The Moving Wall, like the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., was funded by contributions made from the public. As of January 1, 2014 there were 58,286 names listed on the traveling memorial. The artifacts left at the Moving Wall are collected, boxed, and marked at each location the memorial visits, then taken back to White Pine, Michigan for storage. A museum is being planned to display the artifacts and other exhibits relevant to the Vietnam War and its veterans. The Moving Wall memorial was hosted by Calumet High School Alumni, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 3900, American Legion Post 61, Calumet High School Jr. ROTC, and the Charter Township of Calumet.
