• The impact of the Vietnam War was reflected upon anew this week as “The Wall That Heals,” a three-quarter replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, came to the Ralph W. Shirley American Legion Post 46 on Tasker Hill Road in Conway for a display that ran Aug.7-Sunday. Names are arranged in order of date of casualty and alphabetically on each day, beginning at the center with Panel 1E (under 1959), ending above the 1975 on 1W. The first and last casualties are side by side at the apex of the Memorial.
