A special salute is planned this week for Vietnam Veterans in the Mid-south. A traveling memorial wall that’s a replica of the one in Washington, D.C. will be set up in Southaven. Veterans like Steve Powell and Dave Hicks say the honor is a far cry from how vets were received when they first came home from the war.

  • Traveling Vietnam Wall
  • Landers Center in Southaven, MS
  • Special opening event Thursday at 6 p.m.
  • Closes on May 13
