The Mobile Education Center features a timeline of “The War and The Wall” and provides additional information about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Additional exhibits give visitors a better understanding of the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the collection of items left at The Wall.

Displays include:

  • Map of Vietnam

  • Timeline of the War and The Wall

  • The Gold Star Bike – Donated to VVMF by the American Gold Star Mothers in 2012, the bike is a Softail Custom Harley that pays tribute to the mothers who lost sons to the Vietnam War.

  • A replica of the In Memory plaque that resides on the grounds of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial site in Washington, D.C. It reads: “In Memory of the men and women who served in the Vietnam War and later died as a result of their service. We honor and remember their sacrifice.”

  • Items Left Behind – Displays of items representative of those left at The Wall in Washington, D.C. in remembrance of those on The Wall.

  • Hometown Heroes – Photos of service members on The Wall who list their home of record from the North Penn region. Photos are part of The Wall of Faces, an effort to put a face to every name inscribed on The Wall in Washington, D.C.
