Vietnam Traveling Wall
The Vietnam Brotherhood in Charlotte County, Florida worked for nearly four years to bring the Vietnam Traveling Wall during the week of Veterans Day to Laishley Park, Punta Gorda, FL .
The Punta Gorda Garden Club, along with the Port Charlotte Garden Club, were asked by the Vietnam Brotherhood to provide potted plants for the lectern area and statue display. Along the Wall fresh cut roses were placed each day by club members. The Vietnam Brotherhood is an association dedicated to helping one another and promoting the image of the Vietnam Veterans as productive members of society.
      |
The plantings used at the Wall were permanently planted by Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte Garden Club members at the Douglas T. Jacobson State Veterans' Nursing Home in Port Charlotte, Florida.

`The Garden Club members were honored to be a part of this recognition of our servicemen and women.
