There's a lot of people, even myself included.

There's so many things that you don't know about the Vietnam War and all that went along with it.

And so this is opening those doors for our younger generation to learn about what happened during Vietnam.

A lot of people won't have the opportunity to make it to D.C. to see the actual wall.

Any opportunity that a local, local community could provide bringing this and hosting it is important.

There's veterans over the years that haven't been ready, you know, to visit their brothers on the wall.

Or it could be their their family members that are there.

And you just don't know when that time is going to be right.

And so for us, this was really just about providing an opportunity for healing and also providing an opportunity for education.

So we have a United for Veterans program that we run through our local United Way here.

And we have a variety of different offerings, and we have a strong group of veterans that help us, you know, steer the direction of our programing.

And we have quite a few Vietnam veterans that are involved.

And it was something that not only we were passionate about, but they were as well too.

And so they really helped us to shape this week of programing just honoring our Vietnam veterans and their service.
