Lest We Forget - Middleburg Heights Chamber of Commerce

The AVTT Traveling
Vietnam Wall
The AVTT Traveling Wall is the largest
replica of its kind — an 80% scale
version of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in
Washington, D.C — 360-feet in length,
8-feet high at its apex and etched with
every single name included on the original.
Lest We Forget
We all left our homeland
For a journey so long
Not knowing who’d return
Only praying to be strong.
The Middleburg
Heights Chamber of
Commerce and the City
of Middleburg Heights
are proud to present
We had a duty for which
We did proud,
Our return but a whisper
From a limited crowd.
There are those who came home
At the call of the cease,
The others who didn’t
May they rest in peace.
Tis not praise we asked for,
For our journey so long,
Just a simple remembrance
Could not be so wrong.
