RANGER — Residents of the Brownwood area are invited to attend a powerful and moving event as Ranger College hosts The Wall That Heals, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Replica & Mobile Education Center, from April 23–26, on the Ranger College campus.

This free event will include several key moments of interest, including:

• A law enforcement and motorcycle escort procession into Ranger

• Opportunities for Brownwood-area veterans and families to find names, leave tributes, and share their stories

• A mobile education center providing historical context and exhibits Media outlets serving the Brownwood area are invited to cover the event, including the escort procession, opening ceremony, and personal stories from local veterans and families with connections to the memorial.

In addition, community members from Brownwood and the surrounding area are encouraged to get involved by volunteering during the event. Volunteers will play an important role in welcoming guests, assisting with the exhibit, and helping ensure a meaningful experience for all who attend.

The exhibit is free and open to the public, and all members of the Brownwood community are encouraged to attend—whether during the week or over the weekend, The Wall That Heals is a powerful experience for all.
