The traveling exhibit honors the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War, bearing the names of the 58,281 men and women who were killed in action or went missing in Vietnam The exhibit includes The Wall replica and a mobile Education Center.
But to reach its different destinations each year, organizers need assistance to transport the exhibit from one community to another, including this year’s 31 community tour with two in Texas––Del Rio (April 16-19) and Ranger (April 23-26).
For a second year in a row, Del Mar College’s Transportation Training Servicers program took to the road, again, to transport the exhibit to Ranger on April 20. While steady rain affected plans to provide a send-off from the full campus community, a small group of DMC were on hand to send off the driving team. DMC Instructors and State Examiners Alvin Amador and Ralph Guerra left campus in a college rig with trailer in-tow for the roughly 385-mile trip to the small Eastland County community of about 2,300 residents, where they were greeted and participated in a parade on April 21. The exhibit opened to the public in Ranger on April 23.
