The Truckload Carriers Association will once again partner with the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund for the fourth year.
For 2019, VVMF has selected Hoekstra Transportation, LLC and the community of Bourbonnais, Illinois, as a sponsored stop. The mobile education unit and The Wall That Heals will be available to view 24 hours a day, June 27-30 at Perry Farm.
In 2015, TCA carrier members began hauling “The Wall That Heals,” an exhibit which includes a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, to communities nationwide. The exhibit bears the names of the more than 58,000 men and women who died in Vietnam.
