Delaware Vietnam Veterans to honor John Wheeler
Nearly three months after he first disappeared and a month before he is to be honored at Arlington National Cemetery Delaware's Vietnam Veterans are planning their own honor of John Wheeler.
A brick in memory of Wheeler will be laid the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Dover. The Delaware veterans group will hold a ceremony Wednesday March 30th at 11am at the Kent County Veterans Memorial Park, which was dedicated in November 2009.
Paul Davis, President of the Delaware Vietnam Veterans of America says the honor to Wheeler is appropriate."His most relevant accomplishment to us and following veterans was his vision and work in making The Wall a reality despite ongoing opposition," he said. Wheeler was considered instrumental in getting the funding portion of the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC organized to the point where it could be built.
All of this comes as a website has been set up to honor Wheeler. Tributes continue to be written at www.johnpwheeler.com
