BUCKEYE, Ariz. - The traveling Vietnam Wall Memorial is on display in Buckeye. It's a smaller version of the permanent Vietnam War Wall in Washington, but still features all the names of the service members who were killed or listed as missing in action during the Vietnam War. "So I honor them I thank them, I love them, I'm proud to be the mother of a vet and there are no words to express the appreciation so many Americans feel for the United States military," said Sarah Palin, former Alaska governor, who made an appearance at the memorial. The wall is on display through Sunday at the Earl Edgar Recreational Facility in Buckeye.

Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin will speak Thursday evening at a ceremony in Buckeye, where a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial will be through Sunday.
“Please join me and brave Vietnam veterans as we remember those fallen heroes who gave the last full measure of devotion to our country,” Palin wrote in a Facebook posting this week.
The Buckeye Main Street Coalition and Buckeye worked to bring in the traveling exhibit, which is four-fifths the size of the actual memorial wall and contains every name etched onto the original. The names reflect those Americans killed in Vietnam.
The wall is at the Earl Edgar Recreation Facility, 500 S. First St.
The wall opened to the public at noon Thursday with the laying of POW/MIA and Gold Star wreaths and a blessing of the wall. The evening ceremony begins at 6.
Another ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, and a candlelight vigil will be held at that time Saturday.
On Sunday, a church service begins at 10 a.m., with the ride of honor at noon and closing ceremonies at 2 p.m.
