Since the inauguration of the mobile memorial was displayed on October 15, 1984, at the Tyler Texas Rose Festival, the "Original and the First replica" of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial (VVM) known as The Moving Wall (TM) has toured within and outside of the United States.

the American citizens. Communities, family,and friends, provided all of the money needed to build this first
replica. There were no government funding, private industries nor corporate support provided and it was
John's intention that this was the People's Wall - it should be built for the people. Nothing like this
memorial had ever been constructed in Washington but whereas the Vietnam Veterans Memorial received government
funding as well as from many various corporations and wealthy citizens.
