The Wall Coming To Denver

A replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall arrived Tuesday in the Denver area, escorted by a motorcade of about 50 bikers.

The 250-foot replica, featuring the names of U.S. military personnel who died in the Vietnam War, will be open to the public Thursday through Sunday at Faith Bible Chapel, 62nd Avenue and Ward Road in Arvada.

A 6:30 p.m. vesper service will be held today at the wall. For more details go to the church's Web site, fbci.org.

The wall tour marks the 40th anniversary of the Tet Offensive, a turning point in the Vietnam War.

Three other replicas also are touring the country - one was displayed recently in Keenesburg - but this is the only one sponsored by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, which sponsored the original wall, according to Rod Ginn, a Faith Bible Chapel spokesman.

The original 493-foot memorial in Washington, D.C., was the winning design of Yale undergraduate Maya Ying Lin. The unknown architectural student won a 1980 national contest to design a Vietnam memorial.
