The Wake Forest Purple Heart Foundation is pleased to announce the publication of "The Wall That Heals in Wake Forest Commemorative Photo Book."
This beautiful 8.5" x 11" hardcover limited edition volume is a treasure trove of pictures recording The Wall That Heals' 2018 visit to Wake Forest's E. Carroll Joyner Park. Throughout the pages of this book, you will relive The Wall's unforgettable stay in our community through hundreds of poignant photos submitted by amateur and professional photographers alike.
From Oct. 18-21, 2018, the Wake Forest Purple Heart Foundation and the Town of Wake Forest hosted the replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Joyner Park. Over those four days, approximately 20,000 people from across North Carolina and beyond visited the park to pay their respects to the more than 58,000 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam.
Everyone that visited The Wall in Wake Forest was invited to share up to five of their favorite photographs. All submitted photos were included in a photo album on The Wall That Heals – Wake Forest Facebook page and many are featured in this commemorative photo book produced by TWTH Planning Committee.
