Members of the Brandon High School Junior ROTC participated in the opening ceremony for the Oct. 29 through Nov. 1, 2009 display of the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall at Hillsboro Memorial Gardens in Brandon, Fla. As a tribute "to those who served," the traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., also known as "The Wall," stands 240 feet long and eight feet high. According to Dignity Memorial, its wall replica has been displayed in "more than 200 cities throughout the nation." To date, "millions of visitors have seen and touched its black, mirror-like surface inscribed with the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for flag and country." The traveling replica, like The Wall in the nation's capital, is inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 Americans who died or are missing in Vietnam. Called both America's longest and most divisive war, the Vietnam War saw nearly 2.7 million Americans serving in the war zone.
