In anticipation of The Run for The Wall scheduled to pass through Grand Prairie on May 19 and 20, the Grand Prairie Main Library is proud to host an artist's scale model of the future Texas Vietnam Veterans Monument.

In May, 2005, the Texas legislature authorized a Vietnam Veterans Monument to be established on the grounds of the Texas Capitol.

The Texas Capitol Vietnam Veteran Monument Committee commissioned New Mexico sculptor Duke Sundt to create the sculpture that would recognize Texas’ 500,000 Vietnam Veterans. The monument, which will be funded by the State Historical Commission and private donations, is anticipated to be dedicated in the fall of 2013. More information is available at http://buildthemonument.org.

The model has traveled extensively to promote the monument, and will be at the Grand Prairie Main Library through Saturday, May 21. It is available for viewing during normal library hours.

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday: 10 am to 9 pm; Wednesday: 10 am to 6 pm; Saturday: 9 am to 6 pm (the model will be moved sometime during Saturday to its next site).
