More than a hundred people gathered at the Town of Wallkill Memorial Park on April 30 to celebrate the unveiling of a memorial wall dedicated to Vietnam War veterans.
The effort to build the wall started about 30 years ago by a local veteran, Mike Cody, who fought and was badly injured in Vietnam and came back home to taunts and jeers.
