After four days in Wamego, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall replica is being packed up and taken to another city. Even though the wall has been in Northeast Kansas for less than a week, the impact it has made will stay with people for the rest of their lives.

Hundreds of people came out to pay their respects each day the memorial, also known as The Wall That Heals.

Veteran Charles Foster knew someone on that wall

"When you spend two years in the service, it brings you right home to, 'it could have been me over there as well as them.'"

That's what makes it even more special for him to have the wall make its way to Northeast Kansas

"I'm glad its here, to be able to find my platoon sergeant's name on there. I had forgotten it over the years, so it brings it back, he was a very special guy," said Foster.

Senator Jerry Moran spoke at the closing ceremony Sunday.

"It's not about a war when you see this memorial, it's about a person and we need to honor those individuals that sacrificed so much represented on this wall."

For veteran Wayne Pence, it can be hard putting how he feels into words, seeing names he knows on the memorial.

"I can't explain it, my nephew got killed April 11th after landing April 1st of 1969.

Volunteers are helping take down the wall as it starts to makes its way north to Minnesota.
