Perrone Provides Remarks for Vietnam Moving Wall Opening Ceremonies


COL John Perrone (Ret),director of the Homeland Security Management Institute, was the guest speaker for opening ceremonies at the Vietnam Moving Wall that arrived in Rochester on Thursday, June 16.  The moving wall is a 1/2 scale replica of the full size moving wall located in the National Mall in Washington DC.

The wall is expected to host several thousand visitors along with a host of dignitaries and Color Guards from over 20 Veteran and first responder agencies during its weekend stay. The wall itself was first dedicated in 1982 in Washington D.C. for veterans, families and others who wish to pay their respects to over 58,000 veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Vietnam conflict.
